On the Purple Crape Myrtle Island.
“Look, Luo Feng has appeared and is flying toward the plaza in front of the island lord’s palace.” Inside one of the countless palaces and mansions on the Purple Crape Myrtle Island, two immortal demon beings were conversing, yet their eyes remained locked on Luo Feng flying in the distant sky, not daring to miss a single moment. Their task was to monitor every movement of Luo Feng.
Moments later.
As Luo Feng stepped through the water curtain of the fountain and disappeared from view, the two demonic immortals finally let out a sigh of relief.
Expressions: Smiling.
Attire: Silver battle armor.
…
They quickly cross-checked each other’s observations and compiled the most detailed report possible.
“After all these years, everyone in the galaxy now knows that our Demon Race, along with the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race, all want Luo Feng dead! Yet until now, nothing has happened,” said a Demon being with a grayish turtle shell, shaking his head in a hoarse voice. “They say Luo Feng has long reached the strength of a top-tier Cosmic Monarch; if we don’t act soon… one day he might break through to become a Cosmic Sovereign, and it’ll be too late for regrets!”
“It’s not the fault of our race; it’s just that Luo Feng has been hiding on Purple Crape Myrtle Island all along. What can our Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race possibly do?” A black eye concealed beneath endless feathers continued to gaze at the plaza in front of the Island Lord’s palace. “But it is strange—how is Luo Feng’s ranking still only at the fifth tier of the Beast God Path?”
On the Purple Crape Myrtle Island, inheritors can challenge each other, so rankings are very clear.
The third tier of the Beast God Path all appear on one ranking list, the fourth tier on another… and Luo Feng entered the fifth tier of the Beast God Path 62 years ago! Clearly, he is cultivating the fifth tier of the Beast God Path, which seems powerful enough, but shouldn’t a top cosmic monarch at least be at the seventh tier?
“Fool! He may be at the fifth tier of the Beast God Path, but do you know how far his Space-Time Path has reached? It might already be nearing perfection, on the verge of becoming a Cosmic Sovereign!”
“That makes sense, but how can he cultivate so fast in such a short time?”
“Who knows? If it weren’t for his terrifying speed, our race wouldn’t be in such a rush to eliminate him.”
“Look, he’s coming out.”
The two immortal demon inheritors immediately focused their attention on Luo Feng in the distance, closely observing his every move. Perhaps from these superficial details, they could deduce some crucial information.
…
Luo Feng flew toward his own mansion.
“There are at least 100 inheritors watching me now,” Luo Feng smirked, causing all the inheritors assigned by various factions across the universe to immediately record: ‘At such-and-such a time, Luo Feng smiled.’
“I think I can fully comprehend the entire fifth tier in another one or two years.”
Luo Feng silently hoped.
Back then, he had comprehended the fourth tier in just half a month, representing the ‘Beast God Claw.’ However, the fifth tier of the Beast God Path represented the ‘Beast God Horn,’ which was more profound and took longer to master. Because of the time needed for careful study and comprehension, Luo Feng usually visited the inheritance site only once every two to three months!
After 62 years… he had only just begun to feel that he was nearing the completion of the fifth tier.
Moreover, the continuous improvement in the Beast God Path made it much easier for Luo Feng to create secret techniques through the pattern streams. In fact, while researching the ‘Star Tower,’ he was inspired to create two powerful secret techniques—one at the peak Cosmic Sovereign level and another at the ultimate Cosmic Monarch level. He named them ‘Golden Mountain’ and ‘Heavy Mountain.’
Now, Luo Feng had some fairly good secret techniques: the ultimate Cosmic Sovereign technique ‘Golden Light,’ the peak Cosmic Sovereign technique ‘Golden Mountain,’ and the ultimate Cosmic Monarch techniques ‘Mist Light’ and ‘Heavy Mountain.’
Of course, these were secondary!
The most important thing was his research on the ‘Star Tower’! Although he had been inspired to create two fairly strong secret techniques, Luo Feng could still only activate the most superficial first layer of the tower’s patterns. He had already mostly deciphered the second layer, but it would still take some time before he could fully activate and wield its power.
“At the moment, I only know one attack move with the Star Tower—’Pierce!’ The other move, ‘Crush,’ probably requires fully activating and comprehending the second layer’s patterns to unleash its full power. I guess I still need to spend a few more years on it.” Luo Feng quickly dove from the sky and directly entered his mansion, continuing his peaceful life.
Luo Feng also knew…
This was the calm before the storm!
…
The human race was also constantly concerned about Luo Feng’s every move.
“Fortunately, Luo Feng has remained on the Purple Crape Myrtle Island, so he’s safe. Chaos… how could you let him go back then? If we had kept him in Chaos City, wouldn’t that have been the safest? Outside the borders of human territory, he might still encounter great dangers. Although the Ancestral God Religion is very neutral, there are some powerful beings from the Bug Clan, the Demon Clan, the Mechanical Clan, and the Northern Border Alliance within the Ancestral God Religion. If they join forces, they might find a way to deal with Luo Feng.”
“He wanted to leave back then, so I naturally didn’t stop him. He has a soul treasure and extremely strong will and consciousness! Even if he encounters a crisis he can’t resist, he can still self-destruct. With his talent for creating clones… what is there to fear!”
The Lords of Dragonflight and Chaos City conversed.
…
The Lord of Dragonflight’s concerns were not unfounded.
Luo Feng’s prolonged stay on the Purple Crape Myrtle Island had unsettled the Insect Race, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical Race. They dared not dispatch a Cosmic Sovereign there—any such arrival would be instantly obliterated by the ‘Five-Color Aurora Lake’ attack! Sacrificing a Cosmic Sovereign to eliminate a potential Chaos City-level entity simply wasn’t worth the cost.
“Cursed!”
“Is this human, Luo Feng, planning to stay on the Purple Crape Myrtle Island forever?”
“He has been on the Purple Crape Myrtle Island for so long without any other movements. What he lacks now is cultivation. He must be trying to carefully cultivate and comprehend here! With his battle strength… his Beast God Path tier is not high, so he must have already nearly perfected the Space-Time Path. Therefore, he cultivates the Beast God Path as a reference! Different paths, cross-referencing each other… perhaps he will eventually break through.”
“We cannot afford to waste time like this… the longer we wait, the more advantageous it becomes for Luo Feng!”
The three supreme races grew anxious!
They had hoped Luo Feng would leave the Purple Crape Myrtle Island on his own, but it seemed he had no intention of leaving. He had already been there for 62 years… would they continue to delay?
…
Across the vast universe, in a starry expanse.
Three wills pierced through infinite spatial distances and descended into this starry expanse, faintly manifesting three towering figures.
One was exquisitely beautiful, with a faintly graceful silhouette surrounded by endless light, enough to enchant even a Cosmic Sovereign merely by looking at it.
Another location held a massive, oval-shaped black ball-like illusion floating in the void.
The final figure was surrounded by faint images of countless snakes, with a giant silver-white snake head surveying the surroundings, warping the surrounding starry sky into a vortex.
“Monka, where is Zhenjiao?” The massive black ball spoke.
“Our demon race, I will take care of it,” the silver-white serpent head also spoke. Their voices instantly reached the other two, as if the universal speed limit of light no longer constrained them. “Mechanical One, you summoned our demon race and the insectoid race. Both I and the Insect Queen have arrived. Let’s get down to business.”
“Mechanical, speak.” The faintly graceful silhouette also spoke.
“Alright.” The black ball spoke. “The human race protected by the Axe is now producing this young one named Luo Feng, whose power is increasing rapidly. Moreover, he has remained in the Purple Crape Myrtle Island all along. If we let him continue like this, the human race will soon gain another powerful existence. With his talent for creating clones… in the future, it will be difficult for us to kill him. We must eliminate him as soon as possible.”
“Of course, we must eliminate him as soon as possible.” The graceful figure spoke, her voice brimming with infinite allure. “But how? That is the core of the Ancestral God Sect! It is under the control of their supreme treasure, the Five-Color Aurora Lake. Without the Ancestral God Sect’s permission, direct entry would trigger an attack from the supreme treasure—even a Cosmic Sovereign would perish! And it’s not just about a Cosmic Sovereign falling; trespassing into the Ancestral God Sect’s core territory and violating its rules would provoke them… angering them would bring consequences far graver than the human race gaining another Chaos City Lord! At least within the Original Universe… the Ancestral God Sect is the guardian of the cosmic operational laws; no one can rival them!”
“I agree with the queen. Our demon clan also wants to eliminate him as soon as possible, but how?” The silver snake head also spoke.
“None of the three of us wishes to provoke the Ancestral God Sect, but… what if we hire a lone wolf, a ‘Cosmic Supreme Being’?” The black sphere spoke. “We have concerns and attachments. Yet those few solitary ones care for nothing. The Ancestral God Sect can do nothing to them—they have no ties, so they would dare to venture directly into the sect’s core territory. Even if they kill Luo Feng, what could the Ancestral God Sect possibly do?”
“A Cosmic Supreme Being lone wolf?”
The graceful silhouette and the silver snake head hesitated slightly.
“That will be a great cost!” The graceful silhouette said.
“Engaging a Cosmic Supreme Being lone wolf to infiltrate the Ancestral God Sect’s territory and assassinate an extraordinary genius of the human race—this not only provokes the Ancestral God Sect but also incurs the wrath of the Axe! Though those few reclusive ones may not care… the cost of hiring them will undoubtedly be exorbitant,” the silver serpent head added.
“You each give me three top-tier treasures! I will hire one!” The black ball spoke.
“Three top-tier treasures?”
The graceful figure and the silver serpent head hesitated slightly for a moment, then the graceful figure spoke: “Even if your Mechanical Clan contributes three more supreme treasures… bringing the total to nine supreme treasures, equivalent in value to one pinnacle treasure. A single pinnacle treasure… hiring a lone Cosmic Supreme to undertake such a task is no simple matter. Who do you plan to hire? Zuoshanke? The Lord of Shihua Island?…”
“You don’t need to ask too much. You each give me three top-tier treasures, and I will hire a Cosmic Supreme Being to act. If I fail to hire one… I will naturally return them. I wouldn’t stoop so low as to deceive you out of these three top-tier treasures.”
“Alright, I agree.”
“If it takes three top-tier treasures to eliminate the human Luo Feng, I also agree.”
The graceful silhouette and the silver snake head both spoke.
“Excellent.” The massive oval-shaped black ball then instantly disappeared, followed by the graceful silhouette and the silver snake head surrounded by countless snake shadows vanishing into thin air.
The starry expanse returned to its previous tranquility.
Who would know… that three of the greatest beings in the universe had once conversed here.
