The Golden-Horned Beast was surrounded by the surging Nine-Xiao River, cautiously advancing forward.
In the distant darkness,
“That Golden-Horned Beast is heading toward the Master’s palace! We must stop him; absolutely cannot allow him to disturb the Master!”
“Yinqu, even I couldn’t stop him, you won’t be able to either.”
“I know I can’t stop him, but Heitian… you definitely can. Although your strength is about the same as mine, your divine body is much larger! With such a massive divine body, if you entangle him, you could definitely hold him back for a very long time! But you retreated after being defeated once. Don’t you know the Master’s dignity must not be violated? You allowed that Golden-Horned Beast to invade the Master’s palace!”
“No, Yinqu, his strength is even greater than you imagine. If he truly wants to escape, I can’t possibly stop him.”
“What? Even you couldn’t stop him? Could he be a Cosmic Sovereign?”
“Even if he isn’t a Cosmic Sovereign, his strength is very close,” said Lord Heitian. “Let’s just watch slowly. Let him go see the Master! Since he didn’t heed my warning, even if he perishes, it’s not our fault… When he meets the Master and disturbs him, his fate will certainly be destruction!”
“Right,” another cold voice spoke. “The Golden-Horned Beast will regret it.”
“Let’s go.”
Lord Heitian and another tiny figure on him quickly disappeared into the darkness.
…
Golden waves surged forward rapidly, sweeping through the void and clearing all obstacles.
The Golden-Horned Beast gazed ahead, cautious after Lord Heitian’s words. After all, this was the place arranged by his teacher, the Hermit. Previously, the third black metal plate was placed with the Venerable Qingkou and the Venerable Zikou—both were Cosmic Overlords! And the fourth black metal plate went to the ‘Artisan God Sovereign.’
This fifth and final black metal plate was probably no less extraordinary.
“If Lord Heitian serves as a subordinate, this ‘Master’ must be at least a Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng thought.
Following the strong call from the black metal plate, the Golden-Horned Beast continued advancing.
Half an hour passed… The journey was unimpeded, clearly because after Lord Heitian’s failure, the hidden special lifeforms had given up on trying to stop this Golden-Horned Beast.
“Damn Golden-Horned Beast, daring to disturb the Master.”
“His strength is formidable; even Lord Heitian was defeated.”
“Just wait. When he meets the Master, he’ll regret it, but by then it’ll be too late.”
…
The Golden-Horned Beast faintly sensed some special lifeforms watching him from afar, but since they didn’t interfere, he ignored them. After advancing for half an hour, a corner of a massive palace faintly appeared from the black mist in the distance.
Incredibly majestic, the palace radiated a blood-red glow, and even just this corner was unimaginably huge.
“A palace?”
The Golden-Horned Beast, controlling the Nine-Xiao River, rapidly approached and soon arrived at the palace’s main entrance.
The gate appeared ordinary but exuded boundless pressure. Above the gate were three extremely complex ancient inscriptions. Though unrecognizable, their meaning was directly conveyed into the mind—Blood Cloud Palace!
“Blood Cloud Palace?” The Golden-Horned Beast atop the surging golden river showed a shocked expression.
“Actually the Blood Cloud Palace? The legendary… Blood Cloud Palace? The fifth black metal plate is actually within the Blood Cloud Palace!” The Golden-Horned Luo Feng was deeply shocked. At the same time, the Earth human Luo Feng on the distant Purple Crape Myrtle Island received this information and immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe to investigate thoroughly.
The Blood Cloud Palace was something Luo Feng knew quite a bit about.
The Blood Cloud Palace was extremely famous among the super elites of countless cosmic races. Wherever the Blood Cloud Palace went, it brought oceans of slaughter! The Blood Cloud Sovereign had a strange personality; he would even hunt down a certain strong being just because he disliked him, going as far as invading the deep territories of entire races to kill his target!
However, the Blood Cloud Sovereign’s origins? Identity? Which race did he belong to? His true strength?
All were unknown!
It was only known that the ‘Blood Cloud Palace’ was a flight palace-class treasure. In ancient times, the Blood Cloud Sovereign roamed the cosmos, slaughtering countless beings, holding grudges with nearly 99% of cosmic forces! Many Cosmic Sovereigns wanted to kill him, but although the Blood Cloud Sovereign was alone, his strength was formidable. Two Cosmic Sovereigns had already perished by his hand, and countless Cosmic Overlords as well… And when the situation turned unfavorable, he would quickly flee aboard the Blood Cloud Palace.
Throughout countless ages, no mighty being has ever been able to confine the Blood Cloud Sovereign!
Moreover, if a certain force fought against him, the Blood Cloud Sovereign would act like a madman, going to any lengths to destroy that force.
…
Evil! Madman! Powerful! Mysterious!
That was the Blood Cloud Sovereign!
No one knew where his lair was, what his true strength limit was, whether he was a special lifeform or belonged to a certain race. Everything was unknown. Because he always wore blood-red battle armor and a blood-red mask, his true appearance was a mystery. In his craziest phase, he had made the entire universe hate this madman, yet this madman continued to thrive, even killing two Cosmic Sovereigns with his own hands.
It must be known that Cosmic Sovereigns battling each other rarely managed to kill one another.
Yet he managed to kill two!
This already proved his formidable strength…
Rumors even circulated that the Blood Cloud Sovereign was of the human race! Known for his ruthless temperament, he slaughtered countless beings. The Ancestral God Sect, Northern Border Alliance, Crystal Race, Hell Race, Insect Race, Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Star-Beast Alliance all had powerful figures fall to his hands—yet the human race remained untouched by his wrath…
As for secondary powers like the Nine Realms Alliance, they naturally suffered greatly as well.
In short,
If a certain race’s Cosmic Overlord was killed by him, they would simply endure it. But if they truly fought back… naturally, the losses would be even greater. After all, even the Ancestral God Sect and other major superpowers had failed to deal with this Blood Cloud Sovereign.
…
“It’s actually the Blood Cloud Palace.” The Golden-Horned Beast gazed at the three characters above the gate. “Back then, the Blood Cloud Sovereign roamed the cosmos, invincible and unrivaled, definitely a mysterious and powerful existence. But after his most glorious era, he began to hide and disappear. In the following eons, he only appeared twice… His last appearance was over 3 million epochs ago.”
“He’s been gone for too long.”
“Without any news, all the major cosmic forces believe… the Blood Cloud Sovereign must be an identity assumed by a powerful Cosmic Sovereign in the cosmos. Now that he no longer needs this disguise, he hasn’t appeared,” Luo Feng thought after reviewing the detailed information from the virtual universe. His only feeling was this.
This was a madman! A powerful madman!
Whoever provoked him would fight against him!
He had no attachments, acting alone, and even superpowers fighting him eventually ended up losing.
“Never expected the Blood Cloud Palace to be concealed here, and even guarded by Lord Heitian!” Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement. “No wonder no powerful being has discovered it. After all, Cosmic Sovereigns disdain setting foot in the Guke Secret Realm, and ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns would stand no chance against Lord Heitian’s defenses. All the cosmic races knew this was Lord Heitian’s domain, yet none realized… this was actually a hidden stronghold of the Blood Cloud Sovereign.”
“What should I do? Enter or not?”
…
The Blood Cloud Sovereign’s reputation was immense, his strength formidable—even two Cosmic Sovereigns had fallen by his hand. It was estimated that his power approached that of the Chaos City Lord! No wonder Lord Heitian had been so confident earlier. Moreover, the Blood Cloud Palace was a “flight palace-class treasure,” and according to sensing, the black metal plate was located within this palace treasure.
“Enter this treasure?” The Golden-Horned Beast hesitated slightly, quickly making a decision.
“The Flight Palace-class treasures primarily protect their owners! I’ve never heard of the Blood Cloud Palace being capable of trapping powerful individuals.”
Swoosh!
Without further hesitation, the Golden-Horned Beast immediately narrowed the Nine-Xiao River’s domain and flew directly toward the gate.
The gate was already open.
After flying through the gate… was a vast, expansive plaza. In the distance were three palaces—the central main hall and two side halls. Faintly, behind the main hall, there seemed to be more palaces.
“It’s in the main hall.”
The Golden-Horned Beast clearly sensed the intense call and quickly flew toward the main hall.
…
The main hall exuded endless killing and domineering aura. Upon entering, one immediately saw the blood-red throne in the hall, though no figure sat upon it.
“Where is the Blood Cloud Sovereign? Shouldn’t he have sensed my arrival as soon as I entered? Why hasn’t he appeared yet?” The Golden-Horned Beast’s mind flashed this thought, but his actions were without hesitation. Following the call, he quickly entered the back chamber of the main hall! The main hall was divided into the main chamber, many side chambers, and many back chambers.
Along the corridor, the Golden-Horned Beast moved quickly.
“This is it.”
He crashed through the door.
Upon entering the secret chamber, the Golden-Horned Beast was slightly startled. The room was filled with numerous items radiating powerful auras, including a vast quantity of precious materials. Judging by the energy signatures… there was an astonishing number of treasures—at a glance, likely over ten thousand valuable artifacts, and even a full hundred of the highest-grade treasures. However, based on Luo Feng’s assessment, they were probably just ordinary treasures!
“A treasure chamber?” Luo Feng thought. “But the door could be easily pushed open… No… This is the Blood Cloud Palace. The Blood Cloud Sovereign is confident? And what’s placed here, probably aren’t very valuable to him.”
Hundreds of treasures, tens of thousands of valuable treasures, and massive amounts of materials… made this treasure chamber exude endless auras.
Yet the Golden-Horned Beast’s gaze fell on an item placed at the very top center among the numerous materials—the fragment of a black, seemingly incomplete metal plate.
“The fifth one!”
The Golden-Horned Beast felt strange, how could it be this easy to obtain?
“Swoosh!”
A thread of divine power swiftly shot out from the Golden-Horned Beast’s horn, piercing straight through the metal plate. In an instant, the final segment of information from the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Canon’ surged wildly into Luo Feng’s mind.
