The golden eyes of the Gold-Horned Giant brimmed with endless battle intent: “I accept!”
Massacre?
The path of the strong? A new journey? Sounds intriguing!
“You have a bloodthirsty nature deep inside,” said the Mountain-Viewing Guest, looking at the Gold-Horned Giant with a smile. “You’re well-suited to take on the identity of ‘Blood-Cloud Palace Master.'” Then he tossed the blood-red bead, the “Blood-Cloud Pearl,” in his hand.
“Implant your life imprint into it to control the Blood-Cloud Pearl,” said the Mountain-Viewing Guest.
The Gold-Horned Giant gazed at it, and a thread of divine power swiftly enveloped the pearl midair, with a portion already penetrating it. Instantly, the pearl acknowledged its new master. As a supreme treasure personally refined by the Mountain-Viewing Guest, the Blood-Cloud Pearl contained no information and had uniquely peculiar functions.
In fact, many supreme treasures refined by the Mountain-Viewing Guest were quite unique.
Consider Yuanhun and Jia Jia, both top-tier supreme treasures. They imposed stringent requirements on their wielders, rendering them unusable by other powerful individuals who might obtain them. This showcased the Mountain-Viewing Guest’s exceptional mastery in forging supreme treasures.
“Hu!” The Gold-Horned Giant opened its mouth, and the Blood-Cloud Pearl flew straight inside.
Instantly, the Gold-Horned Giant’s divine body began to change. Its hind legs rapidly grew longer and stronger, its chest and abdomen became more powerful, and its entire form transformed from a crawling being into an upright one. A silver mask covered its face, while two golden horns protruded from its forehead.
Its scaly wings on its back quickly retracted and disappeared. Even the “Beast God Armor” it wore on its divine body gradually changed in style and color, becoming a blood-red battle robe, with a scaly tail extending outward from the skirt.
Infinite killing intent radiated outward!
Sinister! Insane!
It was now completely identical to the Blood-Cloud Palace Master as previously transformed by the Mountain-Viewing Guest.
“Hahaha… Isn’t my Blood-Cloud Pearl amazing?” The Mountain-Viewing Guest stood nearby, admiring it as if it were a masterpiece.
“Very impressive,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim. “My aura and pressure are all emitted by the Blood-Cloud Pearl! It can even alter my divine body structure. I transformed from my Gold-Horned Giant form into this new appearance without any loss of strength! And it can even mimic my Beast God Armor. Truly amazing.”
“To forge a Blood-Cloud Pearl, one must kill a Cosmic Lord,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest explained with admiration. “The soul must be completely destroyed, preserving only the divine body. Then, using a vast amount of materials in conjunction with the preserved divine body, the pearl is forged. This allows the Blood-Cloud Pearl to emit specific auras and pressure, even transforming your divine body into a predetermined structure and mimicking supreme treasures…”
Luo Feng was stunned.
The Blood-Cloud Pearl was indeed a unique and special supreme treasure. While it had no direct combat power, it was enough to make many super beings covet it. Yet the forging conditions were unexpectedly extreme—first requiring the soul-annihilation of a Cosmic Lord. Probably only a Cosmic Sovereign could confidently pull it off.
“Remember!” the Mountain-Viewing Guest instructed. “Once you use your Star Tower, be cautious. If you employ it for offense, other powerhouses may fail to recognize it. But if you use it to preserve your life, you will undoubtedly be exposed.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded.
The Star Tower could shrink to the size of a palm, taking a conical shape. With slight modifications to its appearance, it could even be mistaken for a horn.
But when used for survival, the Star Tower would naturally expand, and Luo Feng would hide inside—thus exposing its existence.
“Using it to save your life will definitely expose you,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest smiled. “Whether you choose to use the Star Tower as the Blood-Cloud Palace Master or in your true identity is up to you.”
Luo Feng nodded.
If Luo Feng used the Star Tower in his true form, he’d be exposed. If the Blood-Cloud Palace Master used it, he’d also be exposed! So wouldn’t that be the same as telling all the countless races in the universe… that Luo Feng was the Blood-Cloud Palace Master?
“The Blood-Cloud Palace Master has another life-saving treasure—the Blood-Cloud Palace.”
“I’ve just reclaimed the Life Imprint,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest smiled. “Now, it’s yours.”
“The Blood-Cloud Palace?”
Luo Feng turned his head to gaze at the majestic palace. Without hesitation, he immediately channeled his divine power into the ground beneath his feet. As his life imprint was embedded, a profound sense of familiarity instantly surged through him. The entire Blood-Cloud Palace now felt like an extension of his own limbs. He could fully control every inch of its interior space, even clearly observing the previous treasure chamber.
“The Blood-Cloud Palace is a top-tier flying palace supreme treasure,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest looked at Luo Feng. “Extremely precious! You can only use it when assuming the identity of the Blood-Cloud Palace Master. Normally, when you’re wandering the universe, you must not use it, or your identity will be exposed.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“I hope… I won’t have to take back the Blood-Cloud Palace,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest smiled.
“I’m not Second Senior Apprentice,” Luo Feng replied directly.
“Just like I did for your Second Senior Apprentice,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest smiled. “I’ll also make a promise to you.”
“A promise?” Luo Feng listened attentively.
The Mountain-Viewing Guest smiled: “Within your Cosmic Sovereign period, if you can kill ten top-tier Cosmic Overlords or one Cosmic Sovereign, I will promise… to forge you a peak supreme treasure for free, provided you supply the materials. The value of the required materials will be about one-tenth of the peak supreme treasure itself.”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up instantly.
A peak supreme treasure… enough to make even the Chaos Lord and the Founder of the Axe desire it. Even the initial bet between the Primordial and the Mountain-Viewing Guest was only at this level.
“If you become a Cosmic Sovereign, the requirements will be higher. You must kill 100 top-tier Cosmic Overlords or 10 Cosmic Sovereigns, and I will forge you a peak supreme treasure for free,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest’s face showed a strange smile. “The peak supreme treasures I mentioned include peak domain-type treasures, peak flying palace-type treasures, etc…”
Luo Feng’s eyes turned red instantly!
Damn.
Crazy!
The strongest treasure currently possessed by the human race was only at the level of peak domain-type treasures.
“The higher your requirements, the more specific the material list I will provide based on the treasure you need,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest teased. “Don’t aim too high. The rarity and value of materials required for treasures at the peak domain level alone may be beyond what your human race can even gather.”
“There must be a way to gather them,” Luo Feng, however, was filled with fighting spirit.
“Remember, the requirement for the Cosmic Sovereign level is ten top-tier Cosmic Overlords or one Cosmic Sovereign. Once you become a Cosmic Sovereign, the requirement becomes ten times the previous,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest sighed. “Back then, I made this promise to your Second Senior Apprentice. By the time he inherited the identity of the Northern Prison Lord, he was already a Cosmic Sovereign. Unfortunately, he never met my requirements.”
Luo Feng was speechless.
Killing ten Cosmic Sovereigns? How extremely difficult and demanding a requirement it was. It wasn’t just about being stronger than the opponent; the survival abilities of Cosmic Sovereigns were extremely formidable.
Let alone killing Cosmic Sovereigns, even killing top-tier Cosmic Overlords… First, the top-tier Cosmic Overlords could easily call for help, summoning powerful beings or even ‘Cosmic Supreme’ from their factions! After all, they all had backgrounds and powerful supporters. Feeling their lives were in danger, it was perfectly normal for them to ask for rescue.
Killing ten Cosmic Sovereigns… even a Cosmic Supreme would find it very difficult and troublesome.
No wonder Yan Di couldn’t accomplish it back then!
“Let me, at the Cosmic Sovereign level, kill ten top-tier Cosmic Overlords or one Cosmic Sovereign?” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “None of the top-tier Cosmic Overlords are easy to deal with, and they can even summon Cosmic Sovereigns and other existences. As for Cosmic Sovereigns… I can barely stand up to one in a direct confrontation. Killing one? Impossible.”
It was difficult.
The conditions set by the Mountain-Viewing Guest were indeed very challenging, yet he continued to entice Luo Feng.
“My teacher just wants me to go on a killing spree,” Luo Feng naturally saw through the Mountain-Viewing Guest’s intentions.
“This is the Blood-Cloud Token,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest flicked his hand and threw out a blood-red token.
Luo Feng caught it and immediately noticed it was similar to the token his teacher had given him earlier for communication.
“After imprinting your life mark, you can issue commands to your eighteen chief servants through the Blood-Cloud Token,” instructed the Mountain-Viewing Guest. “The eighteen chief servants are all Cosmic Sovereigns, each overseeing other unique lifeforms.”
“Servants?” Luo Feng asked curiously.
“Back then, when I created the identity of the Blood-Cloud Palace Master, I accidentally saved some unique lifeforms while wandering the cosmos,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest explained. “They begged me to be their master… Since I myself am a unique lifeform, I naturally took them under my protection. Over time, the number of these little ones under my protection grew. With some guidance from me, there are now eighteen Cosmic Sovereigns among them, including three top-tier Cosmic Overlords. You can learn basic information about these eighteen through the Blood-Cloud Token. I’ve protected them for countless eons; you should also take care of them as much as you can.”
“You’ve received the Star Tower, Jia Jia, and the Blood-Cloud Palace… You now possess everything.”
“What I, your teacher, can do, I’ve already done.”
“As for how far you can go, that depends entirely on you,” the Mountain-Viewing Guest looked deeply at Luo Feng, then vanished into thin air.
Luo Feng remained standing there, feeling the expectation in his teacher’s previous gaze, as if watching a child grow… The Mountain-Viewing Guest had cultivated Yan Di, and now cultivated Luo Feng, clearly very eager to nurture a disciple to become a Cosmic Supreme.
“There must be some secret involved,” Luo Feng thought inwardly.
Immediately after, Luo Feng picked up the Blood-Cloud Token. His teacher had asked him to take care of these unique lifeforms as much as he could, so naturally, he had to do his part.
…
Through the Blood-Cloud Token, Luo Feng issued orders to the eighteen servants, commanding them to lead all their unique lifeforms to the Blood-Cloud Palace to meet him.
“The master wants to see us.”
“Hurry.”
“Little ones, you’re lucky. The master is actually going to see you all.”
“Ah, we’re only World Kings. Can we really meet the master?”
…
The various unique lifeform groups controlled by the Blood-Cloud Palace Master, which currently occupied nearly one-sixth of the territory of the ancient Gouke Secret Realm, began rapidly heading toward the Blood-Cloud Palace. For them, this was like a pilgrimage. After all, normally the Blood-Cloud Palace Master only communicated with the eighteen Sovereigns, and other unique lifeforms had no way of directly contacting the Blood-Cloud Palace Master.
It took more than a day for them to fully gather. The eighteen Cosmic Sovereigns each led their own groups of unique lifeforms. A grand and diverse array of unique lifeforms advanced through the darkness, flying toward the Blood-Cloud Palace gates.
The palace gates opened wide.
Countless streaks of light flew through…
In the main hall of the Blood-Cloud Palace,
The three supreme Cosmic Overlords—the Black Heaven Lord, the Silver Serpent Sovereign, and the Thorn Crow Demon Monarch—stood at the forefront. Behind them were fifteen other extraordinary lifeforms, some wielding the power of ‘Cosmic Overlords’ and others the might of ‘High Cosmic Sovereigns’. Further back stood hundreds of immortal-tier unique lifeforms, and finally, thousands of World King-level unique lifeforms.
“Salutations to the master,” the three top-tier Cosmic Overlords, led by Black Heaven Lord, knelt and bowed.
“Salutations to the master,” the thousands of unique lifeforms behind them, a sea of black, all respectfully knelt and bowed.
On the crimson throne in the main hall, the Blood-Cloud Palace Master sat high above, gazing down at those below.
