Chapter 1025: The Arrival of a Powerful One

“Ten years later, our human race will march into the Primitive Star!” With the mighty voice of Lord Hunchun, calm as the vast ocean, the highest meeting ended.

Boom~~~

The gates of the Divine Hall opened. Immediately, nearly all the Cosmic Sovereigns stood up.

“So soon?” Luo Feng and Zhenyan also stood up along with the crowd, watching as the other Cosmic Sovereigns chatted and laughed, heading directly toward the golden gates of the Divine Hall. As soon as they crossed the threshold, they were all teleported away.

“What are you two hesitating for?” Baksen asked as he approached.

“Just surprised at how quickly this meeting ended,” Luo Feng smiled.

Baksen chuckled, “The first time I attended the highest meeting, I was also astonished at how short it was. But later I understood… major events that involve the entire human race occur only once in a very long time! Moreover, more than half of these meetings don’t require discussions at all—they’re merely notifications from the Cosmic Overlords! Only the rare ones requiring votes take considerable time, while those not needing votes are very brief. After all, the lofty Cosmic Overlords don’t have time to chat with us or explain much.”

Luo Feng nodded.

The efficiency was indeed very high.

Lord Hunchun hadn’t said much, merely mentioning the “Primitive Star,” then screens appeared before each Cosmic Sovereign, detailing all relevant information with incredible precision.

“Let’s go,” Baksen said.

“Alright,” Luo Feng, Zhenyan, and Baksen walked side by side, stepping into the golden gates of the Divine Hall.

“Look, that’s Daohe King.”

“I heard Daohe King possesses at least six treasures.”

“Although he managed to kill Weijing King and is considered an extraordinary immortal, his combat strength is barely at the middle level among Cosmic Sovereigns. With his current strength… going to the Primitive Star would make him a target for powerful alien beings.”

“Exactly! He possesses at least six treasures, including soul-type treasures and flying palace-type treasures… he’s like a walking treasure trove on the Primitive Star! The Primitive Star is where countless races’ powerful beings gather. Some alien Cosmic Overlords might immediately attack upon seeing Daohe King.”

“Any alien Cosmic Overlords who encounter him would certainly strike.”

“You’re thinking too much! Every time the Primitive Star opens, most weak Cosmic Sovereigns usually don’t go. Daohe King isn’t foolish either. As long as he doesn’t go, what can those aliens do to him?”

As they murmured among themselves, they also stepped into the golden gates and were teleported away.

At the pavilion outside Luo Feng’s palace at the mid-level of Thunder Island,

Luo Feng, Baksen, and Zhenyan were sitting together, drinking and talking about the Primitive Star… more accurately, Baksen was talking about the Primitive Star while Luo Feng and Zhenyan listened carefully.

“10,081 Primitive Stars, each one a treasure planet, drawing all major superpowers of the universe,” Baksen sighed, shaking his head. “The competition for common treasures and ordinary treasures isn’t too fierce. But for rare treasures—like flying palace-type, domain-type, or soul-type treasures, even high-grade or top-tier treasures—the more valuable the treasure, the more intense the struggle. All races’ Cosmic Overlords will fight and kill each other over them. Historically… every time the Primitive Star opens, there are Cosmic Overlords who perish!”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Cosmic Overlords usually have innate clone bodies or other life-saving techniques. Those without such techniques probably wouldn’t go to the Primitive Star, right?”

“Wrong!”

“You’re mistaken,” Baksen shook his head. “Cosmic Overlords are extremely rare. As long as a race has one Cosmic Overlord guarding it, it can be considered a ‘powerful race’! Even our human race, as a peak race… the number of Cosmic Overlords is still extremely scarce.”

“Those who become Cosmic Overlords are rarely timid or afraid of death.”

“Although cautious, the opening of the Primitive Star is an opportunity for them to obtain top-tier treasures, so many of them will take the risk,” Baksen said. “If they acquire some top-tier or peak treasures… they can rely on these treasures to dominate the universe, nearly invincible.”

Luo Feng nodded. Treasures played a significant role.

Like the ‘Qianbao River’ greatly enhanced Lord Hunchun’s major clone body, even the Wolf King, relying on the Wolf Palace, had to retreat.

Like the former ‘Zi Kougou Sovereign’ was one of the 72 divine generals, inheriting the divine general’s position. He was much stronger than candidates like Peifeng Sovereign and Jufeng Sovereign, truly possessing Cosmic Overlord-level combat power! However, the Wolf King, with the Wolf Palace, could easily suppress Zikougou Sovereign.

“I’ve personally experienced one Primitive Star opening. That time, I nearly perished.”

Just as Baksen was recounting his experience during that Primitive Star opening, suddenly a figure flew in from afar.

“Luo Feng!” A clear voice rang out.

Luo Feng turned his head…

“Nine-Sword Sovereign?” Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. After becoming an immortal, many Cosmic Sovereigns had come to congratulate him, but Nine-Sword Sovereign had never appeared.

Luo Feng could guess why. After all, under normal circumstances, he should have been Nine-Sword’s subordinate… So Nine-Sword’s pride and self-respect had prevented him from coming.

“Nine-Sword Sovereign,” Luo Feng smiled and walked forward.

“Nine-Sword,” Zhenyan and Baksen beside him also greeted.

“Haha, Nine-Sword, you came here… to borrow a treasure?” Baksen asked.

Nine-Sword Sovereign’s expression stiffened slightly.

Indeed, that was exactly his intention… After all, among the human Cosmic Sovereigns, those who possessed treasures were generally high-level Cosmic Sovereigns or even ‘Cosmic Tyrants’. These super-beings usually headed to the Primitive Star. Those who had treasures but wouldn’t go to the Primitive Star were extremely rare. Obviously, Luo Feng, who had at least six treasures… probably wouldn’t go.

“I don’t have any enmity with Luo Feng, and we’re even old acquaintances.”

“A slight bow of the head, and naturally I can become friends with Luo Feng.”

“Besides, during this Primitive Star opening, if I have a treasure to protect me… my chances of obtaining treasures there would be much higher. It’s just a slight bow of the head…” Nine-Sword Sovereign gritted his teeth and decisively came over immediately.

After all, on the path of the strong, power comes first!

With power, other strong individuals will respect you.

“Nine-Sword Sovereign,” Luo Feng said, “I came here indeed wanting to borrow a treasure from you.” He also knew his limits and dared not ask for a soul-type treasure.

“Borrow a treasure?” Luo Feng was startled.

“It’s indeed a bit impulsive of me to ask for a treasure,” Nine-Sword Sovereign quickly smiled. “Once I come out from the Primitive Star… I will immediately return the treasure armor and reward you with ten heavy treasures. This borrowing… can be fully notarized by the virtual universe system, signing a borrowing contract. Unless I dare to betray the race, I absolutely won’t refuse to return it.”

Luo Feng hesitated slightly.

Refusing directly would be too impolite?

“Nine-Sword Sovereign,” Luo Feng began, “I’m… sorry about this.”

Nine-Sword Sovereign immediately understood—he had failed to borrow the treasure.

“Luo Feng, the Primitive Star remains open for a thousand aeons. One can come out anytime during that period. Once I obtain treasures, I will definitely come out immediately. So I might only spend a few hundred or a thousand years there,” Nine-Sword Sovereign quickly added.

“It’s not that I don’t want to lend it,” Luo Feng said. “But I myself also plan to go to the Primitive Star.”

Nine-Sword Sovereign had no more words.

Since Luo Feng himself intended to enter the Primitive Star, of course he would want to be as strong as possible.

“Haha, Nine-Sword, actually I also planned to borrow a treasure from Luo Feng, but who would have thought you’d beat me to it…” Baksen, sitting nearby, laughed heartily. “Now that I know Luo Feng intends to go to the Primitive Star, I don’t have to embarrass myself by asking. Haha, I should thank you, Nine-Sword!”

Nine-Sword Sovereign also smiled, secretly grateful to Baksen, whose words had eased his embarrassment.

Shortly after, the Nine-Sword Sovereign departed, yet mere moments later, another formidable expert arrived to borrow a treasure…

“Second Senior Brother,” Luo Feng immediately went to greet.

A bald man in a crimson red robe floated over—it was Guiyi Sovereign, who had long served beside Lord Hunchun.

“Luo Feng, you probably already guessed why I’m here,” Guiyi Sovereign, barefoot, landed on the ground and smiled at Luo Feng. “I came to borrow the soul-type treasure from you. I guess… you probably won’t go to the Primitive Star this time, so I came! Once I come out from the Primitive Star, I will definitely return the soul-type treasure and reward you with three ordinary treasures.”

Three treasures as a reward?

Luo Feng was secretly astonished. Many Cosmic Tyrants only had a few treasures on them, like Peifeng Sovereign, who had only four treasures.

Guiyi Sovereign had long followed Lord Hunchun, possibly possessing slightly more treasures, but offering three treasures as a reward… that was truly generous.

“Second Senior Brother,” Luo Feng quickly said, “That does tempt me, but I myself also plan to go to the Primitive Star.”

“Second Senior Brother,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Also going?” Guiyi Sovereign was surprised.

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Little Junior Brother Luo Feng, don’t you know how perilous that place is? Ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns usually can’t obtain treasures,” Guiyi Sovereign said. “Even Cosmic Tyrants, without sufficient treasures for protection, might struggle to obtain three treasures.”

Luo Feng understood.

Guiyi Sovereign was clearly telling him… even Cosmic Tyrants going there might not obtain three ordinary treasures. Now, by borrowing the soul-type treasure, he would reward three treasures. It was a great deal.

Luo Feng felt helpless inwardly…

Second Senior Brother, you don’t know that this soul-type treasure of mine is the ‘Tower Pearl,’ the ‘Star Tower’s item for establishing ownership.’ If a Cosmic Sovereign integrates it into his soul, he would certainly die.

“I still plan to go in and see for myself,” Luo Feng said.

“Oh,” Guiyi Sovereign slightly nodded, smiling, “Then I’ll leave first. It seems I need to find other ways to borrow treasures.”
