Chapter 1022: At the Edge of the Wind and Waves

King Lishuo nodded solemnly, “Luo Feng, the Howling Mirror King you just killed has resurrected.”

“How do you know he’s come back? He died once already and no longer has a Legacy Decree,” Luo Feng smiled. “However, as an immortal special lifeform, the Northern Alliance once bestowed a treasure upon him, showing how much they valued him. His resurrection through time reversal was entirely within my expectations. If this is the trouble you’re referring to—”

“No,” King Lishuo shook his head.

Queen Qianyu and King Chaman also wore serious expressions.

“The thing is,” King Lishuo continued solemnly, “after the Howling Mirror King revived, he spoke with other legacy inheritors in the Northern Alliance’s core territory. When they asked him about his defeat, he made a defense and said something that has now brought you great trouble.”

“A few words?” Luo Feng frowned.

“Hmm,” Kings Lishuo, Qianyu, and Chaman all nodded simultaneously.

“What exactly did he say?” Luo Feng pressed.

“The Howling Mirror King said…” King Lishuo’s voice slightly trembled, “the reason he lost so badly to you was because his innate secret technique couldn’t even affect you! His innate secret art is a soul attack! Extremely powerful, even many Cosmic Sovereigns fear it. Logically, even if it couldn’t kill you, Luo Feng, it should at least affect you.”

Luo Feng furrowed his brow slightly.

Indeed, he had both the tower pearl protecting his soul and an exceptionally strong will.

“Moreover,” King Lishuo continued, “he also mentioned that back in the Nine Nether Time-Space, he once pursued you and immediately used his innate secret art attack. At that time, you were still a Realm Lord but could withstand that move. The other inheritors present quickly deduced that you, Luo Feng, possess a soul-type treasure! The Howling Mirror King also confirmed this,” King Lishuo stated gravely.

“A soul-type treasure,” Queen Qianyu couldn’t help but exclaim. “Physical attacks usually only destroy parts of one’s divine body, but soul-penetrating attacks can destroy the entire being with even the slightest hit. It’s extremely terrifying. Although soul-type treasures, flying palace-type treasures, and domain-type treasures are considered the most supreme, in terms of survival, a soul-type treasure might be the most valuable. One soul-type treasure could be more coveted than ten or even a hundred ordinary treasures. Many Cosmic Overlords don’t even possess a soul-type treasure.”

Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.

It had been exposed!

Back then, after escaping the pursuit of the Howling Mirror King, he had feared that the secret of the soul-type treasure might be exposed. Little did he expect it would finally come to light today.

“It’s not just that,” King Lishuo continued seriously.

“What else is there?” Luo Feng asked urgently.

The Howling Mirror King also stated that the mental energy weapon you used to attack him was a treasure! No strong warrior doubts this, as many had already speculated it just by watching the video. He also mentioned… you possess treasure wings, killed him, obtained his treasure armor, and acquired a top-tier heavy treasure set. Moreover, you once discovered a treasure in the ‘Treasure Land,’ ranked among the top 108 treasures, and recently received a bestowal from the Lightning Beast God,” King Lishuo looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng frowned, “What does he mean?”

“He also said,” King Lishuo continued, “after he was killed, a Cosmic Overlord from the Northern Alliance attempted to reclaim the treasure armor, but you, Luo Feng, stole it and escaped using a flying palace-type treasure.”

“What!” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.

A flying palace?

A treasure?

“When you killed the Howling Mirror King, Senior Venerable Peifeng went there, and later… when some supreme experts inquired, Senior Venerable Peifeng only mentioned that he was intercepted by Senior Venerable Jufeng and sustained injuries, without providing further details,” King Lishuo quickly explained. “At that time, Senior Venerables Peifeng and Jufeng departed through a teleportation channel one after another, with only a brief interval between them. Logically, within that timeframe, Senior Venerable Peifeng should have been able to handle you…”

“You possessing a flying palace-type treasure, although not confirmed, is now considered about 60-70% credible.”

King Lishuo stared at Luo Feng and said, “To sum up, you originally possessed three treasures, acquired two more through the Ancestral God Sect, and took one from the Howling Mirror King…”

“You, Luo Feng, are now confirmed to possess at least six treasures.”

“And among these six, one is a soul-type treasure. Another might be a flying palace-type treasure!”

“Soul-type, flying palace-type, and domain-type treasures are all enough to drive Cosmic Overlords mad,” King Lishuo said solemnly. “Each of them is worth as much as ten or even a hundred ordinary treasures. You possess two of them—soul-type and flying palace-type! Now that this news has spread through hundreds of millions of inheritors, it’s likely known to countless races across the universe! How many super beings will now target you! The Cosmic Sovereigns may not care, but the Cosmic Overlords… any one of them could easily prepare a trap or deadly move for you…”

Luo Feng’s face turned grim as he listened.

Howling Mirror King!

So ruthless!

He indeed had a soul-type treasure. But the flying palace-type treasure was entirely fabricated by the Howling Mirror King.

Although the Ancient Ship Galaxy and the Golden Thread Extreme Light Mirror belonged to the ‘flying palace-type’ and ‘domain-type’ categories respectively, they were merely top-tier heavy treasures. Even top-tier heavy treasures were rarer and more valuable than ordinary treasures. One can imagine how coveted genuine flying palace-type and domain-type treasures would be.

“Daohe King has six treasures, including one soul-type and one flying palace-type treasure. And you, Luo Feng, only have the combat power of an average Cosmic Sovereign at best, maybe even a high-level Cosmic Sovereign!” King Chaman sighed.

“Ro Fen, this time, you’re really in deep trouble!”

King Chaman, Queen Qianyu, and King Lishuo soon departed, leaving Luo Feng with a video recording of the Howling Mirror King’s conversation with other Northern Alliance powerhouses.

Watching the video, the Howling Mirror King sighed and lamented, even saying, “My law comprehension is low, and my secret art attacks aren’t effective. My only strength against Cosmic Sovereigns is my innate secret art. But he has a soul-type treasure that can resist my innate secret art. What else can I do? I could only be killed by him.”

“You’re saying he has a flying palace?”

“At that time, I was already killed. I didn’t know. Later, when I talked with the Cosmic Overlord who saved me, I learned a bit of information.”

Watching the Howling Mirror King in the video, Luo Feng’s expression grew colder.

“Very well, Howling Mirror King. You’ve done well indeed!” Luo Feng muttered softly, then immediately headed to the open plaza of the Glory World.

As soon as Luo Feng entered the open plaza of the Glory World, he was immediately noticed by hundreds of millions of inheritors. Murmurs and discussions filled the air, as now it was completely confirmed that Luo Feng possessed ‘at least six treasures,’ definitely had a ‘soul-type treasure,’ and likely had a ‘flying palace-type treasure.’

These three pieces of information were enough to make all the inheritors envious and jealous.

After all, these immortal inheritors had never even touched a treasure!

Even among Cosmic Sovereigns, the same envy existed! Because among Cosmic Sovereigns, only a few possessed even one treasure!

It wasn’t just the strong individuals from other factions; even those from the Hong Alliance felt a growing distance from Luo Feng. Clearly, driven by jealousy and greed, their relationship with him had subtly shifted.

“Just as expected,” Luo Feng left the Glory World after a quick tour.

“The news has already spread!”

“Hundreds of millions of inheritors already know. The major superpowers across the universe and countless races will soon find out,” Luo Feng’s face was icy cold. “Howling Mirror King… this is your revenge?”

In the secret realm at the heart of the Northern Alliance.

On a floating fragment of a star, an endless palace complex was built, with over ten thousand servants inside.

“Hahaha! Yes, this is my revenge!”

“This is my revenge!”

“Daohe!”

“Humans like Daohe!” Howling Mirror King, in his training chamber, had madness in his eyes and a twisted expression. “Yes, I can’t kill you with my own hands. Who knows how long it would take if I had to rely on myself! But… who asked you to have so many treasures? I don’t need to act personally. There will be Cosmic Overlords who will be tempted to deal with you.”

“You’re doomed! Doomed!!!” Howling Mirror King laughed maniacally.

After being revived through time reversal, the Northern Alliance had bestowed several heavy treasures to protect him, but they would not grant him another treasure! When he requested the ‘Beast God Legacy Decree,’ he was rejected! The Northern Alliance’s high-level officials coldly stated, “Howling Mirror King, even if you go now, it’s useless. You cannot receive a higher level of the Beast God Legacy. Wait. Wait until you reach the Cosmic Sovereign level, and our Northern Alliance will give you a Beast God Legacy Decree. If you don’t reach the Cosmic Sovereign level, don’t even think about it.”

Howling Mirror King stormed out angrily.

As he left, the official added one more sentence: “Only know how to take, never contribute to the alliance. You’re an idiot.”

That sentence enraged Howling Mirror King, who immediately exploded in rage!

But in the end…

The power gap was too large, naturally leading to self-inflicted humiliation. This further fueled Howling Mirror King’s anger, which had already been brewing since his revival, finally erupting. He now harbored even more hatred toward Luo Feng.

“It’s all your fault!”

“If you hadn’t possessed a soul-type treasure, I would have slain you back in the Nine Nether Time-Space, and all your treasures would have belonged to me. I would still be a mighty special lifeform—how could I have been reduced to such a state?” Furious, the Howling Mirror King soon devised a plan for vengeance. Since killing the Daohe King seemed improbable…

Then…

Let countless supreme powerhouses in the universe deal with the Daohe King!

Inside the Purple Forbidden City estate.

(Note: “荆” can have multiple meanings in Chinese, but given the context of an estate name, “Forbidden City” is used here as it’s a common translation for names implying exclusivity or grandeur. If “荆” refers to a specific plant or has another intended meaning, please provide additional context for a more precise translation.)

After learning of this shocking news, Zhenyan Venerable immediately sought out Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng, Luo Feng.” Zhenyan Venerable directly entered the hall.

Inside the hall, Luo Feng was sitting leisurely, holding a teacup and sipping tea.

“Don’t you know you’re in big trouble. And you’re still drinking tea?” Zhenyan Venerable was anxious.

“What trouble?”

Luo Feng remained calm, even smiling slightly as he sipped his tea, “Isn’t it just because I have many treasures…”

“You know about it too?” Zhenyan Venerable was surprised, then calmed down and sat.

“Meet force with force, meet water with earth.” Luo Feng smiled as he sipped his tea, “No matter how many alien powerhouses come, they’re just whetstones for me.”

“One comes, one dies. Two come, two die.”

Luo Feng grinned.

“What if you can’t kill them?” Zhenyan Venerable asked.

“Then I’ll escape.”

Luo Feng gave a faint smile, took a sip of tea, and then set the cup down. “Don’t worry. The number of super-powerful beings who can force me to flee will only decrease with time.”

This seemingly casual statement, “The number of supreme experts who can force me to flee will dwindle over time,” conveyed an unparalleled determination and confidence that deeply struck Venerable Zhenyan! He could sense… Luo Feng was already fully prepared to confront endless battles and ceaseless slaughter!

“Be careful,” Zhenyan Venerable said.

Luo Feng gave a faint smile, “A true warrior’s path is always paved with the blood and bones of his enemies!” Then he slightly furrowed his brows, for he had just received an email notification in the virtual universe summoning him to attend the highest-level meeting.

“The highest-level meeting is today?” Zhenyan Venerable was surprised.
