Not only Luo Feng and other inheritors of the Hong Alliance turned their attention, but also the inheritors from the Northern Border Alliance and surrounding factions. All were puzzled… what exactly was King Mirrorbark going to do?
“Hmph.”
King Mirrorbark continued walking toward the Hong Alliance group with a smile. Despite being watched by numerous inheritors, he remained smiling and soon reached the territory of the Hong Alliance.
“Mirrorbark King, what brings you here?” A Cosmic Sovereign from the Hong Alliance stood up.
“I’m here to find Daohe King,” Mirrorbark King replied.
“Daohe King?”
The heirs who noticed the commotion in the open-air plaza instantly grew excited. There were legends that the Mirrorbark King had once relentlessly pursued the Daohe King, forcing him to flee into the ‘Nine Abyss Vortex.’ Now, the Mirrorbark King was coming to seek out the Daohe King.
…
Luo Feng looked at Mirrorbark King with interest and smiled, “Mirrorbark King, do you need something from me?”
“Hahaha… It’s been over 80,000 years,” Mirrorbark King looked at Luo Feng, smiling slightly while subtly revealing his fangs. “The moment I saw you, I could sense your pressure has grown significantly. How… Daohe King, have you entered the Immortal stage?”
This question drew the attention of many inheritors.
“Ah, Daohe King’s pressure indeed feels much stronger.”
“But compared to Mirrorbark King, his pressure is still far inferior.”
“Mirrorbark King is a heaven-defying special lifeform, capable of rivaling a Cosmic Sovereign. Daohe King, being human, naturally has a weaker pressure, which is normal.”
Murmurs spread from various corners of the plaza.
Luo Feng remained unaffected and nodded slightly, “Congratulations, Mirrorbark King. Your eyesight is indeed sharp. Yes, I’ve just entered the Immortal stage.”
“Congratulations, congratulations,” the Mirrorbark King laughed heartily. “The legendary Daohe King—you were able to slay king-level experts while still a Domain Lord. You escaped from my clutches as a Domain Lord. You even survived an assassination attempt by Sovereign Zhao while still a Domain Lord. You’ve fought over 620,000 battles and defeated countless inheritors…”
These words sounded like flattery but carried an edge.
Many inheritors present felt uncomfortable… because Luo Feng’s reputation was built on their own defeats! Yet they had to admit, Luo Feng was indeed extraordinary, achieving so much at the Domain Lord stage.
“You, a legendary Domain Lord, have finally entered the Immortal stage!” Mirrorbark King exclaimed. “I must admit, I couldn’t match you at the Domain Lord stage. Now that I know you’ve become an Immortal… I’m happy, very happy.”
“Thank you,” Luo Feng replied.
Mirrorbark King grinned widely, revealing his fangs, “You were already so powerful at the Domain Lord stage. Now that you’ve become an Immortal… you must be even more powerful.”
Although many inheritors in the plaza found Mirrorbark King’s praise of Luo Feng strange, they had to admit… Luo Feng had won countless battles in the Honor World without external help, even at the Domain Lord stage. His combat strength now must be astonishing.
“I’m here!” Mirrorbark King stared at Luo Feng. “First, to congratulate you. Second… to challenge you!”
“You, Daohe King, are a worthy opponent for me, Mirrorbark King.”
“You, Daohe King, are worthy of my full strength.”
“Fight me to the death, Daohe King. Do you dare?” Mirrorbark King locked eyes with Luo Feng.
Silence.
The open-air plaza fell deathly silent. Countless inheritors were excited yet holding their breath, watching Luo Feng.
“A life-and-death battle?” Luo Feng raised his eyebrows. “Where shall we fight? In the Honor World?”
“Of course not,” Mirrorbark King licked his lips, his golden eyes burning with fighting spirit. “I mean a real battle. We can choose a location within the Ancestral Secret Realm and promise not to call for any help. It will be a pure one-on-one life-and-death duel between you and me. Do you dare?”
Mirrorbark King grinned, “No need for excuses. Just tell me, do you dare?”
“If you’re afraid, you can refuse.”
“But I believe you, Daohe King, the legendary genius of the universe, won’t disappoint me.” Mirrorbark King stared at Luo Feng. “Refuse… or accept?”
…
The entire open-air plaza was silent, with tens of millions of inheritors watching intently.
Daohe King was indeed a legend.
But now, having become an Immortal, would he dare to fight another Immortal, the ‘Mirrorbark King’? Although Mirrorbark King lacked Daohe King’s legendary status, he was a ‘powerful special lifeform’ feared by countless Immortals.
Would he dare to accept?
If Luo Feng was afraid and refused, the inheritors present would understand. After all, facing a life-and-death challenge from a powerful special lifeform, who would dare to accept? But even though they understood… if Luo Feng refused, the honor and reputation he had built would suffer greatly.
Luo Feng was an Immortal, and so was Mirrorbark King.
Both were Immortals… yet Luo Feng was still afraid of Mirrorbark King!
…
“Refuse or accept?” Mirrorbark King stared at Luo Feng.
Hoo!
Luo Feng suddenly stood up, looking at Mirrorbark King and grinning, “Since you’re asking for death, how could I possibly deny you the chance?”
Instantly, the tens of millions of inheritors in the open-air plaza became excited and stirred.
“You accept?” Mirrorbark King’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
“Ridiculous!”
Luo Feng swept his gaze across the crowd, “A challenge from an equal… I, Luo Feng, will never refuse!” His voice echoed throughout the entire plaza.
“Ah?”
“Arrogant!”
“Proud!”
This shocked countless inheritors. Such a proud statement drew attention. Even the Bug King, who had been silently watching from afar, revealed a hint of a smile.
“Bug King, he said he never refuses a challenge from an equal,” a melancholic youth in semi-transparent purple battle armor, whose appearance was ambiguous between male and female, softly laughed. “Can you swallow that insult? If I were still an Immortal… I would definitely kill him.”
“Ziyu Sovereign, you’re a Sovereign now. Don’t get involved in these matters,” Bug King glanced at the armored youth.
The armored youth was known as Sovereign Ziyu.
Another heaven-defying special lifeform, his genetic level surpassed even that of the Bug King. Once the most ruthless Immortal from Purple Vine Island, he was responsible for the demise of numerous Cosmic Sovereigns in his era. After ascending to the rank of Cosmic Sovereign himself, he became a formidable force within the Ancestral God Church.
“Besides, even without provoking him, just getting past Mirrorbark King will be hard enough,” Bug King shook his head. “That Luo Feng is too arrogant. Although he’s a legendary genius, Mirrorbark King is also a special lifeform, with a 2000-fold genetic level difference, representing an enormous gap.”
“Hmm,” Sovereign Ziyu nodded.
As special lifeforms, they had their own confidence and pride.
…
“Haha… very well,” Mirrorbark King laughed loudly. “I’ll send you an email with the coordinates. Let’s choose a location very close to the teleportation point of the Ancestral Secret Realm.”
“Agreed,” Luo Feng nodded.
“The time,” Luo Feng continued.
“The sooner the better, but I’ll give you some preparation time. Half a day from now, at the coordinates,” Mirrorbark King became increasingly excited.
“Fine,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Hahaha…” Mirrorbark King grinned widely, his smile looking sinister as he looked at Luo Feng. “Daohe King, I didn’t expect you to have such courage, hahaha…”
“I hope you can still smile at the end of the battle,” Luo Feng smiled.
“Unique personality.”
Mirrorbark King grinned, “But the quickest to die.”
Swoosh!
Mirrorbark King vanished into thin air.
Luo Feng glanced around, noticing the stares from Bug King and the peculiar youth in the distance. He smiled slightly and then disappeared into thin air.
…
A storm!
A storm had erupted. The hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Church were in an uproar. Even a real battle between two Cosmic Sovereigns wouldn’t excite them this much. After all, an Immortal capable of rivaling a Cosmic Sovereign was indeed more valuable than a Cosmic Sovereign.
Mirrorbark King, a heaven-defying special lifeform! Possessing the combat strength of a Cosmic Sovereign!
Daohe King, the legendary genius of the human race, now an Immortal!
Their life-and-death battle…
This news was incredibly explosive. It spread instantly through countless inheritors to every corner of the universe. All major superpowers in the universe learned about it almost immediately. The human race also quickly learned about it through their own inheritors.
“What? Daohe King Luo Feng and Mirrorbark King are going to fight to the death? A life-and-death battle in the Ancestral Secret Realm?”
“Are you kidding!”
“Mirrorbark King is a powerful special lifeform, truly possessing the combat strength of a Cosmic Sovereign. Even ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns might fall to him. Daohe King is being too reckless!”
“Daohe King has the talent to split his consciousness; he won’t die.”
“He won’t die, but if he’s killed, his treasures will be taken. Those treasures were granted to him by our human race. If they’re taken by the alien Mirrorbark King, it will be a loss for our human race.”
“Reckless.”
“Arrogant.”
“Conceited.”
Many human Cosmic Sovereigns, who were already unhappy about Luo Feng’s residence on the mid-slope of Thunder Island, felt even more strongly that this legendary genius had become too confident. They had indeed seen many overly confident “arrogant geniuses” before. Only after suffering a major setback would these super geniuses become sober-minded.
“After this battle, he will become sober.”
“But it’s a pity that to sober him up, he might have to pay the price of losing his treasures!”
…
Luo Feng was at his residence on Purple Thorn Island.
“Mirrorbark King is indeed confident,” Luo Feng softly chuckled.
Beside him, Sovereign Tianzhen respectfully said, “Master, this time Chaos City Lord placing you on the mid-slope of Thunder Island is like putting you on the fire to roast!”
“I naturally understand.”
Luo Feng nodded, “That’s precisely why I want to use Mirrorbark King to make this fire even hotter. Real gold fears no fire. Only with a blazing fire can the ‘authenticity’ of my real gold be proven.”
“The time is almost up,” Luo Feng stood up.
“May Master return victorious,” Sovereign Tianzhen respectfully said.
“Prepare a feast for celebration. After our victory, I will invite King Qianyu, King Chaman, and my mentor to join the banquet,” Luo Feng laughed and stepped out without hesitation. Immediately after, he teleported to the plaza in front of the Island Lord’s palace on Purple Thorn Island. Passing through the fountain’s watery curtain, he directly teleported into the secret realm.
