The twelve Universe Masters on the massive reef at the center of the Xuaze Sea trembled as they witnessed the scene. Though they knew of the enmity between humanity and the Purple Moon Holy Land, Luo Feng’s sheer ferocity chilled them to the bone.
“Gentlemen.”
Luo Feng swept his gaze across them, smiling. “If you bear no grudge against me, I will not strike. Rest assured of that.” With those words, he flew directly toward the Star Tower, entering through a side door.
The Universe Masters on the reef exchanged glances, whispering amongst themselves, clearly growing anxious. After all, Luo Feng had captured Lord Leisuo, and now he had seized Lord Zixie… was this Luo Feng deliberately setting a trap, intending to capture them one by one?
“No.”
“Even if we resist, Luo Feng possesses Will Shock treasures. None of us could escape anyway. When Lord of the Galaxy first arrived, he only meant to capture Lord Leisuo… and Lord Zipu had only arrived here recently when Luo Feng captured him. These eleven Universe Masters who were here long ago have not been attacked.”
“Right.”
The Universe Masters conferred quietly, quickly realizing that if Luo Feng intended to kill or capture them, he would have done so already. There was no need to delay. Moreover… Luo Feng had his race to consider; he wouldn't want to make enemies everywhere unnecessarily.
Inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng looked down from above, a faint smile playing on his lips. He then shouted directly, “Lord Zilu!” His voice instantly transmitted to a sealed space within the Star Tower.
“Hmph.” In a dim and desolate space, Lord Zixie sat cross-legged on cold, barren earth.
“Relax, I won’t kill you easily,” Luo Feng’s voice echoed in the desolate chamber. “Truthfully, I never wished to become an enemy of your Purple Moon Holy Land, but you insisted on making things difficult for my humans—you refused to let my people prosper. The great battle before was one thing, but after the war, your Purple Moon Holy Land actually bestowed inheritances upon various factions in the Allied Camp… clearly intending to use them to suppress my human race and slow our ascent.”
The entire human race felt deep resentment toward the Purple Moon Holy Land.
If the Purple Moon Holy Land had not released the inheritances, then… as time wore on, the human race would continuously grow stronger, naturally leading them to devour the territories of other peak races. With territorial expansion, humanity would produce more geniuses generation after generation, creating a virtuous cycle that would cause the human race’s rise to skyrocket.
But now, the Allied Camp had also received inheritances. While perhaps not as profound as humanity’s, they were detailed and rich enough. This made it incredibly difficult for humanity to expand its territory. If they couldn't expand… the number of human Universe Masters and Universe Masters of the Void True God level would inevitably be limited.
Without the Purple Moon Holy Land interfering, the human race could have potentially surpassed the combined strength of the two Holy Lands before this reincarnation era concluded!
But with the Purple Moon Holy Land's interference, by the end of this era, humanity might not even measure up to half of the Purple Moon Holy Land’s might!
How could humanity not be furious?
“The Ancestor’s Decree has its deep meaning,” Lord Ziqi, sitting in the desolate space, finally spoke. He looked up at the ceiling and sneered, “You think you can force my Purple Moon Holy Land? Hmph, dream on!”
“Then we shall wait and see,” Luo Feng replied calmly.
That same day.
Within the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe.
“Ancestor, as you instructed, I arrived at the reef in the Xuaze Sea… and just as you predicted, he took action against me,” Lord Zilu said, kneeling respectfully. Before him stood a figure faintly glowing with purple light—it was the Purple Moon Ancestor.
The Purple Moon Ancestor slowly spoke, “He struck?”
“He has only imprisoned my clone for now; he hasn’t destroyed it yet,” Lord Zilu continued, growing more awestruck by the Purple Moon Ancestor. Since the Purple Moon Holy Land and the human faction were enemies, they knew when Luo Feng entered the universe… and based on his trajectory, they deduced his general direction of travel.
In the surrounding regions of that direction, the Universe Masters of the Purple Moon Holy Land had all hidden, avoiding any meeting with Luo Feng.
But Luo Feng was currently waiting in the Xuaze Sea for 'Lord Haolei Star'—the Purple Moon Ancestor had suddenly ordered the nearest subordinate, 'Lord Zixie,' to probe Luo Feng... This probe resulted in Luo Feng immediately capturing Lord Zidu.
“He truly lacks patience,” the Purple Moon Ancestor shook his head. “Having obtained the inheritance from the Duan Dong River lineage, breaking through to True God status would be effortless for him. Once he becomes a True God, combined with the techniques granted by the Duan Dong River lineage, he will be even more powerful than that original Ancestor of the past!”
Lord Zilu, kneeling beside him, was greatly shocked.
What?
More powerful than the human race’s original Ancestor?
The Purple Moon Ancestor’s prediction seemed correct under normal circumstances. If Luo Feng followed the path of Law mastery, given his current ability to create secret techniques at the Universe Master level, combined with the Duan Dong River inheritance… spending some time in the ‘Cultivation Space’ would indeed allow him to break through to True God status in a relatively short time!
Once he reached True God level, his power would surge exponentially, making it entirely plausible that he would surpass the original Ancestor.
At that point, he would sweep aside all other Universe Masters!
However… Luo Feng was pursuing the path of Divine Power, and he aimed for the incredibly arduous feat of exceeding 90,000 times gene level, which inherently meant his progress would take far longer than the Purple Moon Ancestor predicted.
“Wants to fight me?” The Purple Moon Ancestor said coldly. “Issue an order: from this moment on, every Universe Master in the Purple Moon Holy Land is to avoid Luo Feng! If the humans truly employ ruthless methods, we can even retreat entirely back to the Holy Land Universe. Retreating within the Holy Land Universe for a full reincarnation era is a small matter.”
Lord Zipu knelt obediently.
“Simultaneously, make a public announcement to all major powers in the entire Sea of Universes: Since Luo Feng has provoked my Holy Land, from this moment forward, for every native human Universe Master who ventures into the Sea of Universes, we shall kill one.”
“Yes,” Lord Ziqi responded dutifully.
“Go,” the Purple Moon Ancestor commanded.
Lord Zipu respectfully withdrew.
The Purple Moon Ancestor stood alone in the void, smiling coldly. “Luo Feng? When the Universe Masters of the human race realize that because you provoked me, I issued a kill order, they will surely be displeased with you.”
“Wants to fight me?”
“That old fellow Dong Di poses no real threat.”
“You…”
“Are my true destined opponent,” the Purple Moon Ancestor said coldly. “Let’s see who gets the last laugh.”
Virtual Universe, within an independent plane space.
Luo Feng’s consciousness was constantly linked to the Virtual Universe. He had just been filled with excitement, but his expression immediately soured. Excitement came from one piece of intelligence.
The downturned look came from another piece of intelligence.
The first message… concerned the detailed information on the ‘Newly Advanced Universe Masters.’
The second message… was the news released publicly by the Purple Moon Holy Land.
In the information on the newly advanced Universe Masters, Luo Feng saw the details for ‘Lord Lixing,’ paying particular attention to Lord Feixing’s black four wings, which immediately drew Luo Feng’s heavy interest… These black wings could actually generate binding power using the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—a very unique ability.
Like his own silver wings that generate a ‘golden domain,’ this was also a very special kind of power.
Combined with wing-type Supreme Treasures, such peculiar occurrences were already rare.
“The Shi Wu Wings have a total of six pairs of wings; I currently possess three pairs, meaning I still need three more… These two pairs of black wings might be what I need.” Luo Feng felt a surge of excited anticipation, but the second piece of intelligence immediately worsened his mood.
The Purple Moon Holy Land!
Immediately after he had captured Lord Zidu, they publicly released a message, issuing a kill order against the native Universe Masters of humanity—kill every one that appears in the Sea of Universes.
“Luo Feng, come to me quickly,” City Lord of Chaos’s voice sounded in his ear.
In the rear garden of the City Lord of Chaos’s palace atop Thunder Island, various thrones were spaced out, none higher or lower than the others. Figures appeared one after another and took their seats. Luo Feng also arrived and sat down.
“Gentlemen,” the City Lord of Chaos surveyed the group and chuckled heartily. “Now that everyone is here, let’s discuss the latest news. The Purple Moon Holy Land… has issued a kill order against our native human race! They said for every one of our native humans who enters the Sea of Universes, they’ll kill one. I was truly puzzled—how does the Purple Moon Holy Land have the audacity? The Purple Moon Holy Land only has two Universe Masters of the Void True God level, and a host of Universe Masters. Both of those top experts have lost their small universes. In terms of the sheer number of Universe Masters, they don't even match our Hong Alliance. How dare they fight us? Only after looking closely did I understand… Ah… it turns out they are specifically targeting our native humans, excluding the other affiliated races of the Hong Alliance.”
“What kind of joke is that.”
“The Hong Alliance is the Hong Alliance, one unified coalition. They dare to fight us? How can they exclude us?” the City Lord of Chaos remarked, stroking his beard. “It only means the Purple Moon Holy Land is afraid! They absolutely do not dare to fight our entire Hong Alliance! So, to save face, they uttered those words!”
Lord of Darkness, sitting nearby, said gravely, “Yes, our human race now fears them not. After a few more ages pass, and we have a few more Void True Gods, we will have an absolute advantage in top-tier combat power.”
Luo Feng listened, secretly grateful.
The teacher called this gathering without letting others offer opinions first; he directly made a speech, clearly directing the atmosphere toward a shared sense of outrage.
Otherwise, if open debate were allowed… perhaps someone might suggest Luo Feng was reckless for provoking enemies for humanity. This could create a rift within the race, something that Chaos, Darkness, Luo Feng, and the others desperately wished to avoid.
“I must apologize for not informing everyone beforehand about this matter,”
Luo Feng said gravely. “But I do not regret it. It’s just the Purple Moon Holy Land; that Purple Moon Ancestor cannot even bring out his small universe. As for their top experts, they don't even possess small universes! What is there to fear? Since the Purple Moon Holy Land has been secretly pulling strings against us, naturally, my human race cannot show mercy! And I’ve considered this… Because of the Purple Moon Holy Land’s instigation behind the scenes, the situation between the two major factions in my original universe remains tense.”
“Especially the Allied Camp; having inherited knowledge, they fear us not at all,” Luo Feng stated solemnly. “If we face long-term confrontation and cannot expand our territory, how can the human race rise?”
“Therefore, we must fight!”
Luo Feng continued, “A massive war may not ignite, but friction and skirmishes between the two camps will likely be ongoing. Through repeated friction and battles, our race’s Venerables and Universe Masters will naturally be honed… In life-or-death battles, coupled with the heritage from ancient civilizations, our race will continuously produce powerhouses. As our powerhouses multiply, especially if we produce a few more Void True Gods, we will then eliminate those two Void True Gods of the Purple Moon Holy Land! If they hide within the Purple Moon Holy Land and refuse to come out, so be it. Once they emerge, we strike them down directly.”
“Without those two Void True Gods, the Purple Moon Holy Land will pose no further threat to the human race,” Luo Feng said with confidence.
Humanity had the guidance of the inheritance he provided.
Even if other Universe Masters of the Void True God level did not achieve the utterly absurd level he reached, the hope of attaining the ‘peak of the Void True God limit’—the level of the original Ancestor—was still extremely high.
“Indeed, for a considerable period, our race’s focus will be within the original universe, and even life-or-death tempering will occur there. The struggle between the two factions will be very prolonged,” the City Lord of Chaos also nodded. “So, their so-called kill order poses no real threat. Now, let Luo Feng severely teach the Purple Moon Holy Land a lesson. In the future, as our humanity grows stronger, we will become the Third Holy Land, perhaps even stronger than the Purple Moon Holy Land and the East Emperor Holy Land!”
