"Luo Feng has arrived." "The Galaxy Lord is dealing with the Beast of the Universe." "Teacher is here." The group of True Gods scattered around the periphery of the Primal Universe, upon learning of Luo Feng’s arrival, no longer needed to maintain their dispersed guard duties. Each of them instantly teleported toward the location of the Beast of the Universe.
Figure after figure arrived via instantaneous shift, congregating just outside the area where space had been condensed. After all, the combat zone was completely sealed spatially, preventing entry by teleportation.
"Look!" City Lord of Chaos, Dark True God, and the others gazed from afar. The colossal Star Tower radiated boundless, dazzling light, much like a beacon in the darkest night.
The power emanating from its base enveloped an area spanning several light-years, forming an endless dark vortex. They watched as the limitless dark vortex rapidly contracted, and the Beast of the Universe, Molossa, was relentlessly pulled deeper into the vortex.
"Impossible," Molossa struggled wildly. The power of this dark vortex was too immense.
Molossa’s full exertion could not resist it, and naturally, it dared not attempt to break its body apart. "Break!" It roared, blood-red light flashing across its entire body, increasing its struggling power as it desperately tried to escape the dark vortex.
Yet, even with the frantic deployment of the crimson light, escape remained impossible. "How can this be?
Last time, even the combined might of this Star Tower and the spatial binding spell couldn't hold me," Molossa refused to believe it. "Though my strength has somewhat diminished, just the Star Tower alone can capture me?" Despite the reluctance and disbelief.
Resistance was still futile. "Swish!" The hideous, grotesque Beast of the Universe, Molossa, was directly sucked into the abyss at the base of the Star Tower.
Everything returned to calm; the dark vortex vanished, and the dazzling Star Tower settled back into Luo Feng's palm. Witnessing this from a distance, City Lord of Chaos, Dark True God, Peng Gong True God, Huo Qiong, and the rest were stunned into silence.
They were acutely aware of how tenacious a 'Beast of the Universe' was, especially when it unleashed its blood-light technique... even City Lord of Chaos and the others couldn't contain it.
"Incredible." "Simply suppressing it with one move." "The Galaxy Lord is far too strong now, absolutely the number one True God in history." A multitude of thoughts flashed through the minds of the True Gods. They did not realize...
Currently, the strongest beings in the Sea of Universe, like True God of the God Eye, could only unleash peak ninth-tier secret arts through their self-created methods. Relying on supreme true treasures, they could manifest peak tenth-tier secret arts.
Whereas Luo Feng, while comprehending 'Chaos Evolution,' could casually create peak tenth-tier secret arts. During his time patrolling the Beasts of the Universe, in addition to excavating his physical potential, he simultaneously digested the insights gained during that period, temporarily pushing his strength to a new apex.
"This Star Tower, gifted to me by Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, is truly miraculous," Luo Feng gazed at the tower in his hand, marvelling silently. The preciousness of the Star Tower likely surpassed even that of Wu Qi Shen.
It was just that he had never fully grasped the extent of its value. "Luo Feng." "Galaxy." "Teacher." They all flew over, appearing immensely relaxed.
City Lord of Chaos laughed heartily, "Hahaha, breaking through to True God—it seems your strength has increased significantly, Luo Feng. This Beast of the Universe, I used every method I had and couldn't capture it, let alone kill it.
Yet, in your hands, it was easily taken alive." "Beasts of the Universe are inherently difficult opponents; defeating them is easy, killing them is hard," Luo Feng replied. "Capturing them alive is even harder," Dark True God added.
The True Gods chatted back and forth, erupting in laughter. Capturing the Beast of the Universe alive had clearly put everyone in high spirits.
This alone offered a glimpse into how terrifying Luo Feng, now a True God, was, as his actions in this engagement only revealed the tip of his iceberg. "Let's go back," City Lord of Chaos stated.
"You go on ahead; I will confine this Beast of the Universe within the Star Tower," Luo Feng said. "I need to question it and see if I can gather any intelligence." "The matter of the Beast of the Universe is crucial," the other True Gods nodded in agreement.
The True Gods of the Human Race departed first. Luo Feng, piloting the Star Tower, returned directly to his miniature universe, for within his own domain, assisted by the source power, he could unleash his ultimate strength.
Inside the Tower. Within the suppression space.
The hideous Beast of the Universe, Molossa, stood on the ground, enveloped by an invisible, crushing pressure. Yet, it remained calm, silently waiting.
"Beast of the Universe," a figure in white robes appeared, stepping through the void before landing on the ground. "Galaxy Lord…" Molossa stared intensely at Luo Feng, its voice hoarse, "Luo Feng!" "Beast of the Universe, you…" Luo Feng began to speak.
"Call me Molossa!" Molossa raised both its heads. "You are qualified to speak my name." Luo Feng grinned.
"Very well, Molossa." Molossa nodded. "Among all races in the Sea of Universe, only you command my respect!
Your current strength is terrifyingly immense. Even if I were still at the third stage...
I could not escape the suction of your Star Tower." Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. The Star Tower?
Indeed, some True Gods had pledged allegiance to Molossa; it was not strange that Molossa knew of the 'Star Tower.' "It's just a pity you returned too quickly," Molossa shook its head. "I estimated you would be waiting in the void outside some True God from the Second or First Reincarnation Era.
Returning should have taken several days... If I had desperately consumed the source of the Primal Universe without the blessing of the Original Ancestor's will...
given several days of obstruction from your Human Race's True Gods, I was confident I could consume more than half the source, perhaps even severing your race's hope for advancement. I didn't expect you to return so swiftly." Luo Feng nodded.
Molossa's plan was sound. With its methods, consuming in small bursts over time could indeed consume over half the Primal Universe's source!
However, Luo Feng’s teleportation range was equivalent to that of a 'Void True God,' meaning he returned in just over an hour. Molossa had consumed less than a single 'soul fragment' of the Primal Universe source.
"I would be thrilled if my revenge succeeded, but failure is inconsequential," Molossa fixed its gaze on Luo Feng. "I am merely a second-stage Beast of the Universe.
The true catastrophe that awaits you and your Human Race is coming. Hahahaha…" Amidst the wild, grating laughter, Molossa suddenly began attempting to self-detonate.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Simultaneously, three layers of power instantly descended upon Molossa.
The first was the suppression force of the Shi Wu Wings' 'Thought of Void'; the second was the suppression force of the Star Tower’s 'Suppression Space'; the third was the immense power stemming from the source of Luo Feng's miniature universe. Under the tri-layered suppression, Molossa could not even detonate itself.
"What?" Molossa looked at Luo Feng in shock. Luo Feng smiled.
An Immortal facing a Universe Venerable—even self-detonation becomes impossible before a Universe Venerable! This is the gap of absolute strength!
And now, the peak second-stage Molossa, before Luo Feng, could not even self-destruct. "You are indeed far stronger than before, to actually suppress my self-detonation," Molossa was furious.
If it were divine power, Molossa's strength would engage in a wild contest of attrition. But the power Luo Feng wielded—whether it was the Thought of Void, the Star Tower's Suppression Space, or the source power—was not divine power.
It left Molossa no room to struggle. "You don't need to rush to die," Luo Feng stated.
In truth, suppressing self-detonation was extremely difficult. If they were in the outside world, without the aid of the miniature universe's source or the internal space of the Star Tower for suppression, Luo Feng could not manage it.
The Star Tower was a magical treasure. Aside from some offensive capabilities, its primary function was suppression!
Once inside the Star Tower… death becomes elusive! This deepened Luo Feng’s suspicion regarding the Star Tower’s origin.
He no longer believed Sitting Mountain Guest’s claim of 'personally refining' it. The story about the golden light flying in and causing the treasure to change—Luo Feng dismissed all of it.
How could it be so coincidental? A golden light flies in, and suddenly the treasure manifests such high-level secret arts?
Even at Luo Feng's current level, some of the secret patterns on the Star Tower remained unfathomably deep. Given Sitting Mountain Guest's subtle connection to the 'Jin World,' Luo Feng became more convinced...
this Star Tower was likely a relic left behind by those super-beings from the Jin Kingdom back then—the Jin God King and his cohort of super-beings. This possibility seemed far greater.
"It’s useless; I cannot self-destruct," Molossa sneered. "Do you really think that by trapping one of us, you can prevent the final king from emerging within the lineage of the Beasts of the Universe?" Luo Feng smiled.
"I certainly intend that." According to the will of the source, the Beasts of the Universe would fight and devour each other until only one remained—that final entity would become the King of Beasts. But if Luo Feng himself suppressed and trapped one beast, preventing the others from killing it...
even if the remaining beasts devoured each other until only one supremely powerful one remained, and even if Luo Feng couldn't defeat that one, as long as that powerful beast hadn't killed Molossa, it couldn't become the King of Beasts! Without a King of Beasts, there remained a chance for a counter-turn.
"You are mistaken," Molossa scorned. "Even if I cannot self-destruct, I must face the final challenger when the time comes.
If I refuse to fight, I will simply collapse and vanish. That is our destiny; you cannot suppress it." Luo Feng pondered this.
In the future, Molossa must face the final challenger? It seemed the birth of the ultimate king among the Beasts of the Universe could not be circumvented by trickery.
"You seem quite confident," Luo Feng observed. "Perhaps your kind, the Beasts of the Universe, are very powerful?" "Of course," Molossa replied dismissively.
"Sweeping away all the races in your Sea of Universe is too simple; even the Primal Universe must eventually choose voluntary destruction to escape." "But from what you say, your Beasts of the Universe seem weak," Luo Feng countered. Molossa glanced at Luo Feng.
"Trying to lure me into revealing detailed intelligence about the 'Beast of the Universe Lair'? Don't beat around the bush; just ask directly." "Straightforward, I like that," Luo Feng nodded.
"Tell me, how many Beasts of the Universe are in the Lair, and what is their general strength?" "Do you really think I would tell you?" Molossa’s two eyes widened roundly. "I didn't expect you to be so foolish!" Luo Feng frowned.
"Hahahaha, so foolish, so foolish," Molossa threw its head back and roared with laughter. "Kill me, aren't you furious?
Kill me, go on!" "Uncooperative?" Luo Feng shook his head. "We'll see how cooperative you are once you become my servant." With that, Luo Feng pointed into the distance.
A faint, semi-transparent, triangular, pagoda-shaped light shot from his fingertip, flying directly towards Molossa. Molossa tried to dodge, but under the pressure of multiple forces, it could not escape.
The triangular light plunged directly into its chest.
