While Luo Feng was in the virtual universe, on the primordial star where Luo Feng resided, deep within the ancient forest that had existed for billions of years beneath the vortex channel leading to the outside world, three terrifying and powerful presences gathered.
“According to the alliance’s orders, we arrived here as quickly as possible. It seems we three are the first to arrive.”
“Hmm.”
“As soon as those two Stellar Giant Beasts realize that the black divine sword is a part of Jianhe Luo, they will surely be shocked and immediately rush to this vortex channel, fleeing outward. Once they escape outside, they can teleport or use divine realm transmissions, and no one will be able to catch them. We must guard this place well!”
“Are we just going to wait here like this?” a deep voice asked. “A group of cosmic monarchs will soon arrive, and even the Sovereign of the Covering Demon might come. For just one divine sword from Jianhe Luo, how much contribution value can we get? In my opinion—we should let Venerable Wangjia stay here to guard, while I and Venerable Bifeng take the initiative to attack. With our abilities, we have a good chance of killing those two Stellar Giant Beasts.”
“This…”
“What are you hesitating for? Other cosmic monarchs will arrive soon. Venerable Bifeng, do you agree?” the deep voice continued.
“I agree,” a gentle voice replied.
“Fine, I also agree. But if we obtain the divine sword, the contribution value must be divided as if we three worked together to obtain it.”
“Of course!”
The three cosmic monarchs looked at each other and smiled.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures simultaneously shot into the sky. One was over thirty meters tall, with three forward-curving horns, an ugly face, sharp eyes like an eagle’s, arms as thick and powerful as steel carvings, and holding an ancient spear with three blood marks on its tip.
The other figure was about ten meters tall, wearing a black battle robe that covered even his face with a black mask.
“Venerable Bifeng, during the battle, your soul attacks should directly kill those two Stellar Giant Beasts if possible. If not, at least weaken their resistance so I can engage them in close combat!” the horned warrior holding the ancient spear said in a low voice. “With the might of the Qixue Spear and my ultimate skill, even if they wear ordinary treasure armor, under my terrifying attacks comparable to a cosmic sovereign’s power, the armor’s resistance will be overwhelmed—reducing the damage to only a thousandth or even a hundredth of the original.”
“The Qixue Spear is a high-grade treasure, unmatched in might,” Venerable Bifeng, clad in black battle robes, also smiled. “We will definitely succeed in one strike.”
Qixue Sovereign was a famous cosmic monarch within the Northern Frontier Alliance.
He possessed three treasures, and his close-combat weapon was a high-grade treasure. Combined with his ultimate martial techniques, he could even hold his own briefly against a cosmic sovereign. His full-powered attacks could indeed exceed the endurance limits of ordinary treasure armor. Within the endurance range—
the third-stage ordinary treasure armor could reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original strength!
However, once this limit was exceeded, the armor’s damage reduction capability would drop drastically, reducing the damage only to a thousandth, a hundredth, or even a tenth of the original strength… or even shatter completely! This was precisely why ordinary treasures were looked down upon by cosmic sovereigns.
“If their treasure armor is overwhelmed, even if their physical bodies are somewhat strong, I can just pierce them a few more times with my Qixue Spear,” Qixue Sovereign said while flying at high speed, simultaneously transmitting his voice. “Venerable Bifeng, rely on your soul attacks to prevent their escape. I’ve heard that one of them, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, even has a winged treasure.”
“Leave it to me.”
Venerable Bifeng and Qixue Sovereign flew side by side as two streaks of light, rapidly heading toward Luo Feng’s location.
It should be noted—
Luo Feng was the first to arrive at the place where the black sword body had emerged, so the Northern Frontier Alliance could easily deduce that Luo Feng’s temporary residence must be nearby. Thus, Venerable Bifeng and Qixue Sovereign had a clear target.
Back in the virtual universe,
Luo Feng looked in astonishment at the bald cosmic monarch in the distance: “Is that him? One of the two cosmic monarchs from the Hong Alliance who had once besieged me when I was competing for treasures?” At the same time, Luo Feng noticed that the bald cosmic monarch was surrounded by a large group of cosmic monarchs, apparently excitedly discussing something.
“Jianhe Luo!”
“The divine sword of Jianhe Luo! It’s said that the compass of Jianhe Luo was obtained by a cosmic sovereign from the Thorn Ring Alliance! That cosmic sovereign would surely be willing to pay a high price to obtain this divine sword.”
“It looks like an ordinary treasure, but its actual value is at least comparable to a high-grade treasure!”
“Right, and ‘Jianhe Luo’ is only complete when all the divine swords are gathered. Missing even one means it’s not perfect. If we hide this divine sword within our Hong Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance will definitely have to bow and negotiate to get it back.”
“Pity, it was taken by those two Stellar Giant Beasts.”
Luo Feng could clearly hear the discussions.
“The divine sword of Jianhe Luo?” Luo Feng was shocked. “It was taken by two Stellar Giant Beasts?”
“Pity I arrived too late. If I had better luck, that divine sword of Jianhe Luo would have been mine,” the bald cosmic monarch shook his head, with a picture floating in front of him—an image of the black sword body.
Watching from afar, Luo Feng’s heart was in turmoil.
Heaven.
The black divine sword he had obtained, yes, that very black divine sword, was actually one of the divine swords of Jianhe Luo!
“Jianhe Luo?” Luo Feng murmured softly, his mind quickly recalling some information from the data given to him by Venerable Niu Zhou. During the more than a hundred years since the opening of the primordial stars, among 10,081 primordial stars, there had been twelve major battles, one of which was the emergence of the sword tomb.
Regarding Jianhe Luo, there were only some brief descriptions, but they were enough for Luo Feng to understand its overwhelming power. It was a top-tier domain treasure, and in terms of offensive power, it could rival peak offensive treasures! In terms of value, it was no less than the Thousand-Treasure River. Perhaps even slightly superior. Of course, this was only if all the divine swords were integrated.
A voice came from afar—
“Hurry, hurry and tell us, on which primordial star were you? Where exactly did the divine sword appear?”
“Yes, let’s go there quickly.”
“Join forces to kill those two Stellar Giant Beasts and seize the divine sword. Then we won’t have to worry about the Thorn Ring Alliance not offering a high price. If we present it to the Hong Alliance, they will surely reward us with a high contribution value.”
The crowd immediately erupted into excitement.
“Escape!”
“Quickly escape.” Luo Feng instantly understood.
“Daohe!” Venerable Niu Zhou ran over.
“I have something urgent, Venerable Niu Zhou. Let’s chat another time.” Luo Feng immediately vanished into thin air, leaving Venerable Niu Zhou puzzled and frowning.
…
On the primordial star where Luo Feng resided,
In that lowland forest,
“Hurry, hurry, hurry.” Both the Darksea Luo Feng and the Gold-Horned Giant Beast quickly stood up.
“Many powerful experts from the Hong Alliance will soon assemble. I must depart immediately. Moreover, when I acquired the treasure earlier, the black sword body was witnessed by experts from the Yuzu Clan, the Hong Alliance, and the Northern Frontier Alliance. The Hong Alliance’s experts have only just begun to gather, so they likely won’t be able to intercept me in time. However, experts from the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Yuzu Clan may arrive soon.”
Luo Feng of the Dark Sea quickly shrank to just two meters tall and sat cross-legged on the back of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast.
This was a race for survival.
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast was extremely fast when fleeing, and even if sudden danger arose, it was the most capable of resisting threats.
“Whoosh!” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast transformed into about ten meters long, with wings spanning dozens of meters. It immediately burned its divine power and soared into the sky…
Driven by the overwhelming force of divine combustion and propelled by the acceleration of the treasure-slaying Wu wings,
“Whoosh!”
It quickly transformed into a golden streak of light flying into the sky.
…
At this moment, the two cosmic monarchs of the Northern Frontier Alliance, Sovereign Qixue and Venerable Bifeng, were flying side by side through the sky. The reason was that this primordial star was too vast… From the exit of the vortex channel to Luo Feng’s forest, even at the speed of light, it would take nearly half an hour. This was also why Sovereign Qixue and Venerable Bifeng had not yet arrived.
In fact, some supreme existences of the Northern Frontier Alliance were rushing toward Luo Feng’s primordial star! Including Sovereign Fumo…
Even Sovereign Fumo had to first fly to the vortex channel leading to Luo Feng’s primordial star.
It should be noted that each primordial star had a diameter of one trillion kilometers. Even at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, one hour could only cover about one billion kilometers. If the distance to the vortex channel was a bit farther, it would take a long time to arrive. The experts arranged by the Northern Frontier Alliance were already the fastest group that could arrive.
“Look, golden light!”
“It’s the Gold-Horned Giant Beast.” Sovereign Qixue and Venerable Bifeng immediately spotted it.
They were heading toward Luo Feng’s location from the vortex channel.
Luo Feng was heading toward the vortex channel!
They naturally saw each other!
“Hmm?” Both Youhai and the Gold-Horned Giant Beast spotted the two streaks of light in the distance. “They might be some other foreign experts. It’s improbable they’re after me. How could they get here so fast? If things turn sour, I can always flee to another primordial star.”
“Whoosh!”
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast continued flying, slightly adjusting its course to increase the distance from the two streaks of light.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, the two powerful presences suddenly turned and rapidly approached.
“Not good.”
“They’re targeting me. That three-horned one… is Sovereign Qixue of the Northern Frontier Alliance. The one beside him is Venerable Bifeng!” Luo Feng, who had been on high alert, instantly recognized the two and confirmed that they were indeed approaching him. Without hesitation, he immediately recalled the Dark Sea clone into his world ring.
Sovereign Qixue and Venerable Bifeng… were both cosmic monarchs.
And not just any cosmic monarchs!
There were differences even among cosmic monarchs. Those who had reached the peak of law comprehension and secret art creation, with combat power comparable to the weakest cosmic sovereigns, were all called cosmic monarchs.
However—
Cosmic monarchs wielding ordinary treasures naturally had different attack power compared to those wielding high-grade treasures! There was also a difference between a human cosmic monarch and a cosmic monarch who was a special life form with a genetic enhancement level reaching 8,000 times!
Sovereign Qixue possessed a high-grade treasure!
Venerable Bifeng was even a cosmic monarch specializing in soul attacks and erosion!
“Stellar Giant Beast, you cannot escape.”
“Surrender the divine sword!”
A deep, powerful voice and a gentle, mind-penetrating voice simultaneously transmitted their words.
