Chapter 1077: Top-Ranked Cosmic Overlords

“Luofeng, you truly have courage, using yourself as bait to attract attacks from the alien Venerables, then having a Cosmic Sovereign appear and activate a domain-class treasure to trap and slaughter the alien Venerables,” said a giant wolf with a silver head, hovering in the sky amidst six groups of alien Venerables far away.

His divine body was about ten kilometers long, gazing at Luo Feng standing atop distant golden waves.

“Thank you for the compliment, Venerable Bifa,” Luo Feng nodded slightly. Venerable Bifa was even more formidable than Zhongzhan, whom he had previously killed. Firstly, Bifa was truly born from a demon clan and possessed more treasures. Secondly, Bifa’s divine body was much larger, so killing him would take more time.

“Roar~~” Venerable Bifa growled angrily, “Which Cosmic Sovereign is so shameless? Since they could kill Zhongzhan so easily, they must not be an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign. Which one of you humans is it? Palace Master Tianshi? Venerable Zushu? Lord Xingyu?

“Any of you three holds great renown!”

“I respect the three of you, but using Luo Feng as bait to lure us aliens into slaughter is a dishonorable tactic,” Venerable Bifa’s voice echoed across the heavens, reverberating in Luo Feng’s ears. This caused Luo Feng to smile involuntarily. Palace Master Tianshi, Venerable Zushu, Lord Xingyu…

Interesting.

There were many Cosmic Sovereigns among the human race, but since humans were originally ordinary lifeforms, most Cosmic Sovereigns were of average caliber, similar to Venerable Bifa and Palace Master Qixue. Venerable Zushu, Lord Xingyu, and Palace Master Tianshi were all extremely powerful Cosmic Sovereigns who had very special experiences and possessed the ability to create avatars!

Under normal circumstances—

The number of top-tier Cosmic Sovereigns and Cosmic Lords within a single faction should be roughly equal. The human race had dozens of Cosmic Lords, yet only three top-tier Cosmic Sovereigns. This was because humans were inherently weak.

For example, the Ancestral God Religion, which gathered numerous unique lifeforms, possessed a greater number of top-tier Cosmic Sovereigns.

Similarly, the Northern Frontier Alliance, composed of numerous races, also boasted a multitude of top-tier Cosmic Sovereigns.

The six groups of alien Venerables in the distant sky were quietly discussing among themselves, filled with indignation.

“This is too much.”

“It’s really beneath their dignity. The human race is a peak race. Any of the three, whether hiding in Luo Feng’s world ring, is simply despicable. Their reputations have long been established… If others saw them, they would retreat early, not daring to disturb them. But who would have thought they would stoop to such a trick.”

Although the six groups of alien Venerables were angry, each was at a distance, ready to flee immediately if things turned bad.

“Venerable Zushu? Lord Xingyu?” the silver-furred giant wolf Venerable Bifa continued shouting, “Palace Master Tianshi?” It seemed he wanted to provoke the existence to come out and find out who it was.

“Luofeng, I told you, it’s just me.”

The silver-furred giant wolf sneered.

The other 15 alien Venerables also shook their heads. They had all heard the piercing cries of ‘beast forms,’ clearly indicating it was a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign capable of fighting in beast form.

“Which Cosmic Sovereign are you? Come out and meet us,” the silver-furred giant wolf shouted again.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~”

The golden waves instantly disappeared.

There stood Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and wings, carrying a war blade on his back, laughing heartily, “Venerable Bifa, I told you, it’s just me.”

“Hmph, just you.”

The silver-furred giant wolf sneered.

“Venerable Bifa, are you looking for death?” Luo Feng suddenly roared.

Swoosh!

He immediately transformed into a streak of silver light rushing toward Venerable Bifa, scaring Bifa into letting out a low growl and immediately fleeing. He knew clearly that he must keep a sufficient distance from the human Luo Feng; otherwise, Luo Feng could instantly release the domain-class treasure, and once trapped in the domain, he would be in danger. His strength was close to Zhongzhan’s.

“Quick, retreat.”

“Retreat.”

Venerable Bifa turned and fled, and the other alien Venerables naturally scattered and quickly flew away.

Luo Feng immediately slowed down and stopped, hovering in mid-air, looking around at the fleeing alien Venerables, and softly laughed, “I originally wanted to have a good chat with all of you up close. Distance makes conversation troublesome. But since all of you aren’t interested, I’ll just leave.”

Swoosh!

He transformed into a streak of silver light and flew away, not pursuing any of the aliens.

“Hmph.” From a distance, Venerable Bifa turned his head to glance at the streak of light, growling, “Just because he’s accompanying a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign, he dares to act so arrogantly. If he were alone on this primordial star, he would have already been killed, torn apart, and stripped of his treasures.”

Luo Feng’s massacre of thirteen alien Venerables indeed caused quite a sensation. After all, even on the Primordial Star, the emergence of an ordinary treasure typically led to the deaths of merely one or two Cosmic Venerables. It would likely require the appearance of a high-grade or even top-grade treasure to trigger the large-scale fall of supreme beings.

In a magnificent palace within the void of the Thorn Alliance.

“Hail, the Cosmic Lord.” Venerable Jiqi respectfully stood beneath the grand hall.

“Jiqi.” A cold voice came from above the hall, “You reported that 13 Cosmic Venerables were directly killed?”

“Yes.” Venerable Jiqi replied respectfully, “Among these 13 Cosmic Venerables, there are members from our Thorn Ring Alliance, the Insect Alliance, the Northern Territory Alliance, the Demon Race Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance. Among them, one Cosmic Sovereign was Venerable Zhongzhan from the Insect Alliance. Of the 13, only I possess the ability of a talented avatar, so I reported it immediately. I’m afraid the other factions remain unaware of the detailed situation.”

Venerable Jiqi was also one of those who had been killed.

“Who did it? Lord Xingyu? Palace Master Tianshi? Venerable Zushu?” The cold voice from above the hall asked.

“Reporting to the Cosmic Lord, it was a black beast, extremely terrifying, likely a practitioner of the Path of the Golden Beast God,” Venerable Jiqi replied respectfully. “Moreover, this beast had attained a very high level in the Path of the Golden Beast God, seemingly very close to the ‘Beast God’ itself. I was instantly killed.”

“The Path of the Golden Beast God? Could it be Lord Xingyu? But Lord Xingyu does not follow the Path of the Golden Beast God.” The cold voice was filled with confusion.

“I am very certain it was a black beast. His attacks were unfathomable and his realm far surpassed mine.” Venerable Jiqi respectfully replied.

“Do you think that black beast could kill Venerable Zhongzhan?” The cold voice inquired.

“Yes, absolutely.”

Venerable Jiqi nodded, “Even if Venerable Zhongzhan wanted to kill me, he couldn’t render me completely powerless! But in front of that black beast, I was truly helpless… I was killed in a single strike, and I sensed that the beast hadn’t even exerted its full strength. If it were to face Venerable Zhongzhan… it should be able to kill him.”

“How strange, when did the human race have such a beastly Venerable One?” The cold voice was filled with puzzlement.

The figure above the hall slowly descended.

This was a female Cosmic Lord clad in dark purple armor, with hundreds of needle-like sharp horns protruding from her head. Her face was eerily enchanting, exuding a powerful allure, yet her entire body naturally radiated an icy chill that sent shivers down Venerable Jiqi’s spine.

This Cosmic Lord was the ‘Lord of Piercing Hearts,’ who oversaw various affairs of the Piercing Ring Alliance, holding a status equivalent to that of the Chaos City Lord within the Hong Alliance.

“A strange matter,” the Lord of Piercing Heart murmured softly. “Based on what you’ve said, it’s none of those three. Could it be Luo Feng himself, who cultivates the Path of the Golden Beast God?”

“That’s not correct either. Luo Feng’s strength is still weak. Even if he has become a Cosmic Overlord, his comprehension of the laws remains relatively low, estimated to be around the fourth or fifth level of the Beast God’s Path! With such limited understanding of the laws, he wouldn’t even be able to create the ultimate secret techniques of a Cosmic Overlord. It’s impossible for you to feel that he is unfathomable.”

Venerable Jiqi nodded quickly, “It’s definitely not Luo Feng. Whether he has become a Cosmic Venerable or not, he doesn’t possess such profound comprehension of the laws.”

“Hmm, there’s no intelligence about him appearing at the Bauhinia Island to receive the inheritance of the Beast God’s Path,” the Heart-Piercing Master frowned. “Could it be… that the Chaos City Lord arranged for some super-powerful being to protect his disciple?”

“Does the human race have hidden superpowers?” Venerable Jiqi whispered.

The Lord of Piercing Hearts looked at him: “No, although the human race has only three top-tier Cosmic Venerables, the Hong Alliance has more.”

Venerable Jiqi was enlightened.

That’s right…

The Hong Alliance is a coalition of many races with the human race at its core, and there are still many strong aliens.

“Venerable Lord, that supreme Cosmic Venerable employed such underhanded tactics to massacre us. Should we take action against this?” Venerable Jiqi couldn’t help but inquire.

“A supreme Cosmic Venerable is already nearly on par with a Cosmic Lord. Engaging us is akin to slaughter.”

“How to deal with it?”

The Lord of Piercing Hearts smiled faintly, “It wasn’t them who slaughtered you—it was you who, driven by greed, surrounded them and were then slaughtered. If a Cosmic Lord or a top-tier Cosmic Venerable deliberately went around slaughtering groups of powerful beings, it would provoke public outrage. But if you provoked them first… then no one could say a word.”

The news spread rapidly, yet none of the major factions considered it a significant matter. In their eyes, it was merely a group of alien cultivators who, driven by greed, walked into a trap and met their demise.

Moreover, apart from the Thorn Ring Alliance, other factions were completely unaware of what the highest-level Cosmic Venerable looked like or what techniques they employed. After all, the revival of high-level Venerables typically followed a centralized allocation process—they would be assigned to a Cosmic Lord and then await the Cosmic Lord’s availability to take action.

In the virtual universe, at the highest center of power in the Hong Alliance City—the Hong Alliance Hall.

“Hahaha… interesting.”

“It’s indeed quite interesting. They wanted to hunt Luo Feng, but ended up being killed entirely. Other factions know there’s nothing to be said.”

“Lord of Chaos City, it must have been your doing. Without your arrangements, how could such a top-tier Cosmic Overlord willingly remain inside Luo Feng’s world ring? Tell us, when Luo Feng entered the Primordial Star, which Cosmic Overlord was hiding within his world ring? We’ve pondered this extensively, yet still couldn’t figure out who it was.”

The six hall masters sat on their thrones, chatting and laughing with one another.

Chaos City Lord listened with a smile.

In fact, he was also puzzled…

He didn’t know either!

“Could Luo Feng have befriended a top-tier Cosmic Overlord?” the Chaos City Lord pondered.
