Just a moment later.
Another powerful figure, ‘Zuoshanke’ (Sitting Mountain Guest), appeared atop the mountain peak.
“Summoning me here, inviting me for a drink?” Zuoshanke approached leisurely.
The Ancestor stood at the edge of the mountain cliff, pointing into the distance: “Look at your disciple.”
“Luofeng?” Zuoshanke walked to the cliff and followed the Ancestor’s pointing finger. He immediately spotted Luofeng far away, standing before a rock wall. Upon closer inspection, Zuoshanke’s face lit up with pleasant surprise. He then turned his head and laughed heartily: “Old Beast God, across the Eight Great Beast God Paths, no one in the vast universe can match you! But today, my disciple has created this technique using the Golden Beast God’s Eight Secret Inscription Diagram. Do you admit defeat?”
“The battle hasn’t started yet; how can you say I’ve lost?” the Ancestor replied.
“Still arguing,” Zuoshanke shook his head.
The Ancestor didn’t continue the topic but sighed instead: “Your disciple is indeed impressive. Although this technique he created might have involved some luck, in merely one hundred and eighty million years, without any guidance, he has reached such a level in the art of secret inscriptions! His mastery of secret inscriptions is extremely high… especially since he has comprehended the Golden Beast God’s Heart, making it easier for him to understand the Golden Beast God’s Eight Secret Inscription Diagram. Creating a secret technique at the Cosmic Sovereign level is very easy for him. If he devoted significant effort to creation, he could even produce an ultimate secret technique at the Cosmic Monarch level.”
A true Cosmic Monarch would also have to spend countless eons to create an ultimate secret technique at the Cosmic Monarch level.
In a way…
Even though the secret inscription school is known for creating techniques, it still reflects Luofeng’s achievements in this school. Even if not reaching the Cosmic Monarch level, he has certainly attained the high Cosmic Sovereign level.
“The Beast God’s Heart?” Zuoshanke showed a hint of delight, then laughed loudly, “An unexpected joy, an unexpected joy indeed.”
“He is a Golden-Horned Giant Beast, a descendant of the Beast God. His innate bloodline inheritance is very close to the Golden Beast God… Because of this, combined with his long study of the Eight Secret Inscription Diagrams, he was able to perceive the Beast God’s Heart,” the Ancestor sighed. “You could say it was luck, but if you think about it carefully, it’s not entirely luck.”
“Hahaha…” Zuoshanke laughed heartily as he listened.
“Look at how pleased you are,” the Ancestor shook his head helplessly.
No wonder Zuoshanke was so pleased. Because achievements in the secret technique school would greatly benefit the comprehension of laws. Luofeng wouldn’t face much difficulty even if he cultivated to the level of a Cosmic Monarch. Especially with a ‘Beast God’s Heart’… it would make his path along the Beast God’s Dao much smoother! At least one of the biggest hurdles from Cosmic Monarch to Cosmic Sovereign—the Beast God’s Heart—has now been overcome. Although becoming a Cosmic Sovereign is still very difficult even with this, at least the hope is much greater now.
Zuoshanke glanced at the Ancestor, secretly delighted.
You don’t know… my disciple has already received innate secret techniques. Because of the guidance of the ultimate innate secret technique—the Secret Inscription Diagram—and having an ultimate template, he could better study the Secret Inscription Diagram school. Even so, to comprehend the Beast God’s Heart and create the ultimate innate secret technique within one hundred and eighty million years was still unexpected.
Zuoshanke looked downward.
…
Far away, in front of the rock wall.
The massive secret inscription diagram carving exuded a pressure comparable to the three ultimate secret techniques of the Cosmic Sovereign.
“It’s done.”
“It’s actually an ultimate secret technique of the Cosmic Sovereign.” Luofeng stood in front of the rock wall for a long time, staring at the scene before him, still feeling it was too surreal, “After cultivating for one hundred and eighty million years, I’ve actually made it.”
He was very confident in his ultimate secret technique at the Cosmic Monarch level.
But an ultimate secret technique at the Cosmic Sovereign level…
That was truly an extraordinary performance fueled by luck!
“Ancestor.”
Luofeng suddenly looked up at the sky, his voice echoing through the heavens, “I challenge you.”
…
The white-robed Ancestor flew directly from afar and landed on the ground, smiling as he looked at Luofeng: “Challenging me?”
“Yes.” Luofeng was somewhat expectant.
Even if he lost, even if he lost, he could try again after further research and effort. After all, as long as he defeated the Ancestor within one hundred thousand aeons, it would count as success.
“What weapon?” Luofeng asked.
“Your hands, and I’ll use these human hands too. How about that?” The Ancestor slightly raised his right hand; his divine body was purely transformed.
“Hands?”
Luofeng was slightly taken aback. Using hands as weapons?
“You’ve already comprehended the Beast God’s Heart. Can’t your hands be weapons anymore?” the Ancestor countered.
Luofeng was startled. Memories from a thousand-year slumber surged forth. The Beast God roamed the universe… their claws, tails, and horns could all contain the Beast God’s Dao. Even when controlling mental force weapons, they treated the weapons as an embodiment of the Beast God… At this moment, Luofeng felt the great gap between close combat and mental force weapons disappear.
The secret techniques he created felt effortlessly applicable to close combat and equally applicable to mental force weapons.
“Martial artist school, mentalist school… same, same…” Luofeng was somewhat dazed.
“You’ve already comprehended the Beast God’s Heart, so you should understand this level,” the Ancestor smiled. “If you hadn’t comprehended the Beast God’s Heart, you’d have to focus on either the martial artist school or the mentalist school… because mixing the two schools would affect your comprehension of the Beast God’s Heart. Moreover, the Beast God naturally uses their divine body in battle, so the martial artist school is more conducive to comprehending the Beast God’s Heart and ultimately becoming a Beast God.”
Luofeng nodded.
The Chaos City Lord had also said this, urging him to stick with the martial artist school!
However…
During these one hundred and eighty million years, he had temporarily set aside both the martial artist school and the mentalist school, fully focusing on cultivating the secret inscription diagram school. Accumulating deeply, he had unknowingly comprehended the Beast God’s Heart.
“Do you still need to use weapons?” the Ancestor pressed.
“The Beast God can use hooves and claws; naturally, I can use my hands,” Luofeng smiled.
“Then attack,” the Ancestor stood far away.
Luofeng, poised and ready, looked at the Ancestor. He directly used this Mosha Clan clone to fight, since the Ancestor would also limit his divine body to the same level. Therefore, it made no difference which divine body he used.
Boom!
In an instant, countless secret inscriptions flowed across Luofeng’s divine body. The entire person transformed into a dazzling golden light, directly rushing toward the Ancestor. At this moment… Luofeng felt as if he were the Beast God from his thousand-year slumber memory, roaring and charging at an opponent. The Beast God’s simple charge also contained the Beast God’s Dao. And Luofeng’s charge… also contained that ultimate secret technique of the Cosmic Sovereign.
A charge, fierce and unparalleled, astonishingly fast.
Merely by the might of the ultimate secret technique of the Cosmic Sovereign… Luofeng was faster than when using the Shiwu Wings!
“Defeated!” Luofeng instantly reached the Ancestor, his right hand forming a claw, countless tiny secret inscriptions flowing and combining on his fingers. In an instant, they transformed into dazzling golden light, directly clawing toward the Ancestor.
“Bang!”
The Ancestor slightly extended his hand. Upon impact, he gracefully retreated, seemingly slowly, but actually at an extremely high speed.
“Hahaha…” Luofeng felt exhilarated, feeling completely merged with the Beast God from his thousand-year slumber memory.
Rushing forward!
Tearing claws!
Legs like tails, like whips…
…
Luofeng was completely bathed in golden light, faintly hearing the distant roars of beasts.
Fast!
Sharp!
Golden light claw shadows flashed, and the Ancestor was completely suppressed. Although he resisted repeatedly, as Luofeng became more and more proficient, he seemed entirely like a Beast God.
“Bang!” Fingers like horns.
Puh!
Directly pierced through the Ancestor’s chest.
The Ancestor looked down, nodded with a smile, then took a step back, his divine body returning to normal: “You won.”
Luofeng, enveloped in golden light, was momentarily stunned, dazed… had he really defeated the Ancestor? Although it was only under the same divine body level, even limited to using the peak secret techniques of the Cosmic Sovereign. But still, it was the Ancestor… the feeling of defeating the Ancestor was truly, truly surreal.
“Thank you, Ancestor.” Luofeng respectfully said.
From start to finish, the Ancestor had focused more on defense, allowing Luofeng to grow stronger in battle, fully experiencing the Beast God’s fighting style.
“No need to thank me,” the Ancestor shook his head and smiled. “I already used the most powerful defensive techniques at the peak of the Cosmic Sovereign’s secret techniques, but ultimately couldn’t stop you. If I had attacked you from the beginning, I might have won once. But I believe if you challenged me several more times, you would still win… Since that’s the case, there’s no need to delay.”
Luofeng felt even more grateful.
Recalling these one hundred and eighty million years… the benefits he gained in the Beast God Realm were immense.
The Beast God’s Heart was an unexpected gain.
The Secret Inscription Diagram school was a brand new school, now possessing an ultimate secret technique of the Cosmic Sovereign.
“Hahaha…”
A burst of laughter echoed, as a figure descended from the sky.
Zuoshanke gazed at Luofeng from a distance. Over the span of one hundred and eighty million years, his disciple had truly undergone a remarkable transformation! One hundred and eighty million years ago… Luofeng’s cultivation period had been too brief, his foundation too shallow. Yet, by relying on the “Nine Calamities Secret Canon,” which forged an immensely powerful divine body, vast divine physique, and calamity armor, he had managed to stand tall among the mighty.
But those were all basic divine body foundations, on which Luofeng was extremely strong. However, in terms of laws and secret techniques, he was too weak.
Now, however, he had reached an extremely high level, surpassing many Cosmic Monarchs.
“His accumulation is already quite substantial.”
“He is now capable of unleashing his full potential… I believe my disciple can continue to cultivate all the way to the Cosmic Monarch level. Only crossing the threshold to becoming a Cosmic Sovereign will pose a challenge for him.” Zuoshanke was very satisfied. Yan Di’s development eventually disappointed him, so he devoted himself to cultivating these three disciples.
The third disciple did not disappoint him.
The laughter drew the attention of Luofeng and the Ancestor, who looked up.
“Teacher?” Luofeng looked up at the descending figure, momentarily stunned.
“Zuoshanke,” the Ancestor smiled. “Don’t be too pleased. It’s your disciple’s ability… and don’t forget, he has a Golden-Horned Giant Beast clone. His soul has long merged completely with his divine body, making it difficult to distinguish whether he is human or a Golden-Horned Giant Beast. If I say he is a Golden-Horned Giant Beast, who could say otherwise?”
“That’s the business between your Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance and the human race; it has nothing to do with me. Whether my disciple belongs to the human race, the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance, or stands independently, I have no objections.”
Zuoshanke landed.
Luofeng immediately stepped forward respectfully: “Disciple greets the teacher.”
“Hmm.” Zuoshanke smiled and nodded, then glanced at the Ancestor, “Don’t forget… the bet!”
