The Ancestral God Religion was about to publicly bestow treasures, so Luo Feng obediently stayed at the Purple Thorn Island, waiting for that day to arrive.
Inside Luo Feng’s mansion on Purple Thorn Island.
“Lei Zhi Shenshen himself has descended to bestow treasures upon you?” Zhenyan abruptly stood up, his eyes wide with shock. “This… this… you’re not joking, right?”
“Teacher, how could I joke about such a matter?” Luo Feng replied. “Lei Zhi Shenshen will descend soon, in the near future.”
Venerable Zhenyan stroked his beard, pacing back and forth in the hall with a furrowed brow, lost in deep thought. He muttered to himself, “If one of the Eight-Direction Beast Deities personally descends with such a grand display, it must at least be a Supreme-level treasure! But that doesn’t add up. Although the Ancestral God Sect is the most powerful force in the universe, they wouldn’t casually bestow a Supreme treasure.”
“Teacher, what do you mean by ‘casually bestow’?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile. “If Zhuchong King could be granted two Supreme treasures, getting one for myself wouldn’t be unreasonable, would it?”
“You are different from Zhuchong King.” Venerable Zhenyan shook his head.
“Different?” Luo Feng was puzzled. He had displayed strength comparable to Zhuchong King. Zhuchong King was an outer circle member, and so was he. What made them different?
“Zhuchong King is a special life-form,” Venerable Zhenyan explained solemnly. “He has no allegiance to any other faction and is entirely under the Ancestral God Sect. You, on the other hand, are primarily affiliated with the Hong Alliance and secondarily an outer circle member of the Ancestral God Sect. Take ‘Weijing King’ for example; since he was absorbed into the Northern Border Alliance, the Ancestral God Sect didn’t grant him even a single Supreme treasure.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood.
“The Ancestral God Sect is the greatest power in the universe. Although they do not seek conflict, they still show less favor toward super elites from other factions.”
“Weijing King’s primary loyalty is to the Northern Border Alliance.”
“Your primary loyalty is to the Hong Alliance, to the human race.”
“Zhuchong King has not joined any other faction, and his primary loyalty is to the Ancestral God Sect!” Venerable Zhenyan looked at Luo Feng. “I have gathered information on numerous inheritors with extraordinary destinies and discovered that only those who are wholly devoted to the Ancestral God Sect receive the greatest benefits. Those affiliated with other factions may still receive favor, but to a far lesser degree.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“It makes sense.”
“When faced with a choice between the Ancestral God Sect and the human race, you would undoubtedly prioritize the human race,” said Venerable Zhenyan. “Therefore, even if the Ancestral God Sect bestows treasures upon you to win your favor, they likely won’t offer you anything too significant. However, this time, Thunder God Lei Zhi himself has descended in such a grand manner… If the treasure given to you were merely a powerful artifact, it would be an insult to the Eight-Direction Beast Deities! It must be a Supreme Treasure.”
“Therefore, I am quite puzzled,” Venerable Zhenyan frowned.
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
There was no doubt—he would choose humanity first! As for the Ancestral God Sect… his loyalty to them was indeed not strong. Even though the Ancestral God Sect was making such a grand gesture by bestowing treasures upon him, it would only evoke his gratitude and make him remember their kindness. But when it came to loyalty—without question, his allegiance lay with the human race.
“Regardless,” Venerable Zhenyan looked at Luo Feng, “it’s evident they hold you in high regard. Despite your connection to the human race, the Ancestral God Religion still bestowed treasures upon you precisely because they value you so much.”
“Right,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Still, you should be mentally prepared. Although I estimate it to be a Supreme-level treasure, the Ancestral God Cult probably won’t be too generous,” Venerable Zhenyan said.
“I’ll just wait and see. No need to refuse what’s freely given,” Luo Feng replied.
Gazing at Venerable Zhenyan, Luo Feng silently contemplated… If the treasure granted by the Ancestral God Sect wasn’t particularly beneficial to him and its functions overlapped with his existing Supreme treasures, it would be appropriate to bestow it upon Venerable Zhenyan.
…
Day after day passed, and Luo Feng waited on Purple Thorn Island for that fateful day.
During the wait, Luo Feng familiarized himself with the many treasures he had obtained from Weijing King.
Inside the World Ring.
“Haha, the Northern Border Alliance really went all out to recruit Weijing King,” the Earthman main body was wearing a set of golden, uniquely shaped armor. The armor’s shoulders were raised and covered with strange beast runes, unlike any of the Eight-Direcition Beasdeities Luo Feng had encountered.
This was the Supreme Treasure Battle Armor… after Luo Feng attuned to it and wore it, a large amount of information was transmitted to him.
This Supreme Treasure Battle Armor was called the “Jinzhen Harem King Armor,” with three transformation forms. If the attack was within the armor’s capacity, the first form could reduce physical attacks to just one percent of their original power. The second form could reduce them to one thousandth, and the third form could reduce them to one ten-thousandth.
However, if the attack exceeded the armor’s capacity, the reduction effect would be significantly diminished, and if the attack was too powerful, the armor might barely reduce it at all.
For example, against the decisive killing strike of a “Cosmic Lord,” even in the third form, reducing the attack by half would be considered fortunate. Ordinary Supreme treasures like this would often be useless in battles between Cosmic Lords.
If it were an existence like “Sitting Mountain Guest” or others, they could even easily shatter an ordinary Supreme treasure.
…
“Ordinary Supreme treasures are disregarded by the Cosmic Lords. Yet countless Cosmic Sovereigns are madly chasing after them,” Luo Feng observed the ancient aura emanating from the armor on his body. “Anyway, I currently don’t have the ability to provoke a Cosmic Lord. This Jin Armor…”
“Is invaluable to me.”
“No wonder everyone desires Supreme treasures,” Luo Feng marveled in delight.
At last, he realized why the Venerable Peifeng had only sustained injuries when confronting the instantaneous self-destruction of his nine-thousand-kilometer-tall Abyssal Sea Body. It was entirely due to his Supreme Treasure Armor being pushed to its absolute limits!
“I wonder whose Supreme Battle Armor is stronger—Zunzhe Peifeng’s or my Jin Armor,” Luo Feng pondered.
“Weijing King wore this Jin Armor.”
“Fortunately, I have the Supreme Treasure ‘Star Chart,’ where the power of 520 stars is stacked, greatly boosting my attack. The Star Chart and Jin Armor together were just enough to counterbalance Weijing King, allowing me to defeat him,” Luo Feng thought, then looked toward the distance where a massive beast was resting on the ground.
It was the Gold Horned Giant Beast!
“This Jin Armor should be worn by the Earthman main body,” Luo Feng decided. “Once I obtain the Jie Armor in the future, I’ll give it to the Gold Horned Giant Beast to wear.”
The Jin armor and the Jie armor were different.
The Jin Armor was solely for defense.
On the other hand, the Jie Armor could generate a series of armors such as the Soldier Armor, General Armor, and King Armor. Wearing the Jie Armor itself would bestow tremendous physical strength!
In Luo Feng’s plan…
The Earthman main body followed the path of a mental warrior and didn’t engage in close combat, so the Jin Armor was sufficient.
However, the Gold Horned Giant Beast excelled in close combat, making the Armor most effective when worn by it.
…
Luo Feng obtained many treasures from Weijing King, but only two were truly suitable for him: the Supreme Treasure “Jinzhen Harem King Armor” and the Heavy Treasure set “Swallowing Heaven and Earth Claws,” consisting of four claw attachments. Weijing King had previously worn them on his hands and feet, but now they were integrated into the four hooves of the Gold Horned Giant Beast. The combined power of the four claws could be focused into one, resulting in an extremely powerful attack.
Weijing King also had other Heavy Treasures, but they were of no use to Luo Feng.
As for some precious materials that could restore divine bodies, Luo Feng already had an inexhaustible supply from the “Infinite Nethersea,” so he naturally had no interest in them.
…
Luo Feng continued to familiarize himself with the “Supreme Armor” and the “Tearing Claws” while waiting for the descent of Lei Zhi Shenshen. Of course, Jin Armor and Tearing Claws were names Luo Feng had given them himself.
…
On the eleventh day after receiving the email from the Ancestral God Sect.
Above the Violet Thorn Island, an invisible yet overwhelming pressure descended, causing the hearts of all inheritors to tremble. This pressure was so immense and domineering that it even surpassed the aura of the guardian beast deity of the Violet Thorn Island.
This immediately prompted countless inheritors to fly out from their palaces.
“Is the Thunder God descending?” Venerable Zhenyan swiftly flew out as well.
Inside Luo Feng’s mansion.
The Demon Slayer Luo Feng sat cross-legged, while his Earthling main body repeatedly familiarized itself with the “Golden Armor” within his inner world.
When the infinite pressure descended… the Demon Slayer Luo Feng’s clone immediately showed signs of excitement. Simultaneously, the Earthling main body emerged from the World Ring.
“It’s finally here.”
Luo Feng took a deep breath, stepped across the threshold in one stride, and began to soar into the sky.
…
Above Purple Thorn Island, countless inheritors filled the sky, all gazing upward toward the lofty heavens.
Luo Feng and Venerable Zhenyan stood side by side, also looking up at the sky.
“Rumble~~~” Endless lightning filled the sky. In an instant, the entire Purple Jing Island was shrouded in lightning, and the inheritors could no longer see the Five-Color Aurora Lake.
Amidst the endless flashes of lightning, the silhouette of a colossal figure loomed faintly, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort.
The lightning of heaven and earth surged violently, and the oppressive force intensified abruptly, causing the countless inheritors in the sky to plummet to the ground, powerless to resist. Even the Cosmic Sovereign inheritors were unable to withstand the descent.
Gradually, the massive figure descended slowly, revealing its true form.
Its entire body was covered in azure fur, each strand resembling a whip of thunder. Its three hooves seemed to crush and suppress the entire space, while its slightly spread wings caused the endless lightning in the sky to surge. Its raised head was most strikingly marked by its pair of enormous eyes.
The eyes resembled oceans, within which endless thunder raged!
The Thunder Eyes!
Looking down from above… no one dared to meet its gaze.
“How profound,” Luo Feng merely glanced once, yet he felt that the immense and terrifying existence in the sky was as if it were a part of the universe’s fundamental laws themselves. “They say that after becoming a beast deity, one fuses with the laws and becomes one with them. But the guardian beast deity wasn’t this terrifying. Could it be that ascending to the rank of Beast Deity results in a qualitative change?”
All the inheritors… submitted.
They were not yielding merely to coercion, but to an overwhelming force that felt like the very embodiment of the universe’s primordial laws descending upon them.
(Note: The original Chinese text was incomplete, containing only a partial sentence with some untranslated characters. I’ve provided a polished English version based on the available context, maintaining the tone of cosmic inevitability and authority implied in the fragment.)
“I am one of the Eight-Direction Beast Deities… Lei Zhi Shenshen.” The voice boomed like thunder, and the breath exhaled from the deity’s nostrils transformed into rumbling echoes that reverberated across the entire Purple Thorn Island.
“Initiate Daohe Wang.”
As the name was called,
Invisible forces descended directly, binding Luo Feng and causing him to slowly ascend into the sky. Instantly, the countless inheritors of various races below looked up in astonishment at the slowly rising “Daohe Wang.” They all understood… Lei Zhi Shenshen had descended for this human, Daohe Wang!
