"Master." Morosa said respectfully, "Many Beast Gods have escaped into the Lost Sea Domain of the Universe Sea. Forty-two thousand of the second batch of 450,000 Beast Gods fled into the Lost Sea Domain. Added to those the Master hunted from the first batch, the number Luo Feng killed or enslaved is far less than half of the first batch of Beast Gods.

"Just by those Beast Gods that fled to the Lost Sea Domain fighting amongst themselves, they could even birth two Sixth-Order Beast Gods!"

Luo Feng nodded.

About 900,000 Beast Gods could roughly give birth to three Sixth-Order Beast Gods. The portion he killed and enslaved was just a small fraction; the rest could certainly produce two such beings.

"However, according to the Iron Law of Destiny governing our Beast Gods, two Sixth-Order Beast Gods must kill each other until only one survives," Morosa added.

The Iron Law of Destiny.

This was a shackle placed upon the entire Beast God clan during the process of birthing the final king, designed to expedite that birth. There were a total of four such Iron Laws.

The First Iron Law: Any two Sixth-Order Beast Gods cannot coexist; they must slaughter each other. Clones must also fight each other; only one can live.

The Second Iron Law: The final king must be born within the maximum gestation period. If the final time limit is reached, those remaining are even forced to fight and devour each other until only the last one lives.

The Third Iron Law: If only two Beast Gods remain alive, regardless of their strength, they must fight to the death; only one may survive.

The Fourth Iron Law: The last surviving Beast God, whether First-Order or Sixth-Order, will become the ultimate King.

"Hmm."

Luo Feng frowned. The number of Beast Gods was simply too vast. Hundreds of thousands were exploring different regions of the Lost Sea Domain, establishing numerous reference points. The combined explorations of hundreds of thousands of them had already mapped out a portion of the Lost Sea Domain for the Beast Gods! This allowed them to utilize "natural wormholes" for rapid, repeated escapes.

But Luo Feng couldn't pursue them because he lacked the sea charts!

Once the maps were established, no matter how hard Luo Feng chased, he couldn't keep up, forcing his retreat.

"There are still 30,000 Beast Gods remaining," Morosa reported respectfully. "They did not enter the Lost Sea Domain. They are completely dispersed across the various locations within the Three Great Dead Zones. The environments within these Dead Zones are harsh; capturing them one by one is extremely difficult."

Luo Feng understood.

The remaining 30,000 Beast Gods were acting as "lighthouses."

The Beast Gods that escaped into the Lost Sea Domain, despite having mapped out some areas, had fled too far to rely on themselves to return.

"In the future, when Sixth-Order Beast Gods are born," Morosa continued, "they will sense the locations of the remaining Beast Gods and fight their way back to our Universe Sea. They might fear that if the Master kills all the remaining Beast Gods, or even us who pledged allegiance to the Master, they will be permanently lost and unable to return.

"That’s why the number of remaining Beast Gods is so large—thirty thousand! The Master cannot possibly kill them all in a short time."

It was brutal.

But Luo Feng had to exert his utmost effort. Upon his main body's return, his first destination would be the Apex-Slope World!

The Apex-Slope World was immense, divided into many unique regions. Currently, those Beast Gods were nesting wherever the terrain was most perilous! Some had even fled into certain "Dead Zones"—places notoriously difficult to exit once entered.

"Capture."

"Grab."

"Grab."

These leftover 30,000 Beast Gods serving as "lighthouses" were all Second-Order, not particularly strong. In front of Luo Feng, they couldn't even self-destruct. One by one, they were forcibly absorbed into the Star Tower for the entities like Meng Qu to devour. Luo Feng wouldn't enslave them anymore...

Because soul enslavement also had a numerical limit.

"Damn it!"

Inside the Star Tower, the silver-armored, silver-winged Luo Feng gazed from afar. In the endless darkness ahead lay a massive abyss—the core area of the Apex-Slope World, the infamous Dark Abyss Domain. "They actually fled into the 'Dark Abyss Domain'! Once inside the Dark Abyss Domain, it’s impossible to get out! There are a full one hundred and two Beast Gods hiding in there."

Did Luo Feng dare to enter?

No!

He had just sent a Godly Power Avatar piloting a mechanical flow vessel in to test it. Once inside, it couldn't get out!

"These Beast Gods never intended to come out again," Luo Feng shook his head.

The Three Great Dead Zones held many similar dangerous locations. Many Beast Gods fled to places from which escape was impossible. With Luo Feng’s abilities, he might break out of some dangerous spots, but others were inescapable.

Luo Feng dared not test with his true body and could only send his Godly Power Avatars to verify.

The previous two times, the Godly Power Avatar piloting the mechanical flow vessel managed to break out. But this time, entering the "Dark Abyss Domain," it couldn't exit at all.

"It’s impossible to wipe out all 30,000 Beast Gods," Luo Feng sighed, then steered the Star Tower away from that location.

In the distant Lost Sea Domain, the Universe Sea was truly vast. Even what the hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods had charted was only a small fraction. Now, those hundreds of thousands were all gathered in this particular sea region.

Though called a "small fraction," it was still tens of times larger than the ocean areas known to the three great reincarnation eras of Luo Feng and his allies.

"Kill!"

"Between you and me, only one can survive!"

Two ferocious Beast Gods fought wildly, blood spraying everywhere, an insane frenzy.

Such slaughter was occurring across various voids. Hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods were fighting and evolving; they were seizing every moment to advance their strength.

Time flowed.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a year passed. In this stretch of the Lost Sea Domain, only two living Beast Gods remained. Both were undeniably Sixth-Order Beast Gods.

"Boom~~" "Boom~~"

The immense pressure made the void tremble. The two Beast Gods stood facing off across the void, one holding an axe.

Their bodies were covered in even more complex, blood-colored patterns, and a single horn had sprouted from each forehead. The tip of the horn shimmered with a point of white light—a light that seemed capable of annihilating everything.

Their auras were slightly distinct.

One was colder.

One was more savage.

"Mohe, we have both reached Sixth-Order. It is destined that only one can live."

"You, You are dead. Let me go kill the Galaxy Lord and become the final King."

The two Sixth-Order Beast Gods engaged in a life-or-death battle in the distant Lost Sea Domain.

You, die!

Mohe became the last surviving Sixth-Order Beast God. After devouring You, its power rapidly ascended to the peak of Sixth-Order, and it immediately began the journey back.

"Galaxy Lord!"

"My noble Beast God race will be the final victor." Mohe, wielding the divine axe, advanced through the void.

By sensing the locations of its companions, it would not get lost.

The thousands of Beast Gods scattered across the Three Great Dead Zones, those Luo Feng had not captured or killed, were immensely excited. Finally, the Sixth-Order Beast God had arrived.

About a month later, Mohe finally stepped into this familiar sea region again.

"I have arrived." Standing in the vast void, the twin horns on Mohe’s head curved, pointing toward the zenith above. White light faintly emanated, and its two eyes flashed with madness.

"Mohe, everything is up to you."

Boom!

A Second-Order Beast God hiding in the Flowing Heavy Mountain suddenly self-destructed.

"Mohe, I believe in you." Another Beast God, hidden in a Universe Boat, violently exploded.

"The final glory of my Beast God race will be guarded by you!"

"Kill that Galaxy Lord!"

"My Beast God race is the noblest!"

Beast Gods self-destructed one after another. Those Luo Feng had either not had time to hunt, or those hidden in various Dead Zones and inaccessible to him, vanished in succession! They were all annihilated.

The only truly free Beast God remaining—the one not enslaved—was Mohe!

"I, Mohe! I will absolutely guard the final glory of my noble Beast God race and will never allow the Galaxy Lord to tarnish it!"

"Roar~~" Mohe raised both heads and roared fiercely.

At this moment, an invisible destiny enveloped it. It was now the last of the Free Beast Gods!

While Luo Feng was still shocked by the continuous self-destruction of those Beast Gods, Morosa’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Morosa, and the other enslaved Beast Gods like Meng Qu who were with him in the Three Great Dead Zones, simultaneously trembled and transmitted messages to him.

"What is it?" Luo Feng sensed a profound unease. Why were all the enslaved Beast Gods reporting to him at once?

"Master!" Morosa cried out in alarm, "Just now, at the moment those dispersed Beast Gods self-destructed, we felt destiny."

"Destiny?" Luo Feng was startled.

The Beast God clan was influenced by destiny, bound by the Four Iron Laws.

"The Free Beast Gods are reduced to the final survivor," Morosa continued. "Destiny tells us that we, the subservient Beast Gods, must fight each other to determine the last one standing.

"Then, that survivor must fight the Free Beast God to birth the ultimate King. This is the Fifth Iron Law, a law that has just descended."

"What, a Fifth Iron Law?" Luo Feng’s expression changed dramatically.

The Free Beast God side? The enslaved Beast God side? They were being forced into a duel!

Luo Feng recalled the warning from the Supreme Laws when he first enslaved Morosa. It was inherently difficult to enslave Beast Gods, as they represented the supreme power of destruction. Now that only one Free Beast God remained, this Fifth Iron Law had descended specifically to hasten the birth of the ultimate King! Luo Feng was clearly not given time to prepare.

"I have several Beast God servants under my command. I observe them exhibiting 'Destruction' and diligently comprehend it; my realm has been steadily improving. Given more time, my strength will grow stronger, and my chances in this catastrophe will increase. But now, the Supreme Law no longer grants me time," Luo Feng stated solemnly.

His opponent had already reached the peak of Sixth-Order and could improve no further.

But Luo Feng could continue to improve through cultivation.

However, the descent of the Fifth Iron Law of Destiny meant the final King must be born.

"The final battle, then?" Luo Feng’s eyes shone with complex emotion.

"Then let it come."

Luo Feng piloted the Star Tower, beginning his return to the Original Universe. It was unlikely that the Beast Gods under his command would produce a Sixth-Order being by devouring each other. Therefore, in the final showdown between the Free Beast Gods and the enslaved Beast Gods... he would certainly intervene! If his side won, it would naturally be wonderful.

But if that Beast God named "Mohe" became the final King, it would spell true disaster; everything he protected would be annihilated.

Before this battle.

In this moment, Luo Feng intensely yearned to see his loved ones.

The second chapter is delivered. We are at a crucial juncture; the third chapter is still to come!
