Luo Feng leaned back, legs resting on the desk, eyes closed, recalling and carefully contemplating the detailed information he had previously read regarding the Sovereigns of the Universe and the strongest beings in the cosmos.
“Sovereigns of the Universe vary in strength. Unless there’s a significant disparity, it’s generally difficult to kill one another.”
The most powerful beings in the cosmos are only slightly stronger than the supreme Sovereigns, yet they are exceedingly rare. For instance, among humankind, there exists only one—the Pangu Founder. Furthermore, should they slay a Sovereign of the Universe, they would face cosmic retribution…
“These two factors lead to one outcome—the Sovereigns of the Universe rarely perish!”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
The rarity of Sovereigns perishing doesn’t solely stem from their strength making it hard for them to die; that’s only one aspect. The other aspect involves super beings unwilling to pay a heavy price to take action. Unless there’s a sufficient reward of treasures to entice them.
For example, the struggle over the most precious treasures on Origin Stars can lead to the demise of Sovereigns.
“What should I do?”
“The Machine Race, the Ya Race, and the Insect Race have already enlisted the aid of the strongest beings in the cosmos to target me. What should I do?” Luo Feng pondered. It wasn’t hard to guess that the Xuzhen Demon God was almost certainly invited by the three factions—the Insect Race, the Ya Race, and the Machine Race.
“I survived once because the Ancestral God shielded me.”
“The Zu Shen shielded me once, but he can’t always be my bodyguard. What should I do next time? Although the probability of another attack by the strongest beings in the cosmos is low, the three races might become desperate and launch another attack at any cost, likely even more aggressively and with greater certainty,” Luo Feng mused with a furrowed brow.
This was a significant problem.
He had the supreme treasure, the Star Tower, and was completely unafraid of the strongest beings in the cosmos! But therein lay the issue!
If a strongest being in the cosmos attacked Luo Feng and he managed to resist, how could a top Sovereign-level being withstand a cosmic overlord? It would be an enormous joke! Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would deduce that this top Sovereign-level being must possess an extraordinary protective treasure, an incredibly powerful one at that. Otherwise, how could he survive against the strongest being in the cosmos?
“If the strongest being in the cosmos comes to kill me and the Zu Shen doesn’t arrive in time to stop them, I will be exposed,” Luo Feng pondered with a frown.
He would never accept death willingly.
He would definitely resist!
Surviving an attack by the strongest being in the cosmos would make anyone suspect that he possessed a treasure. Especially since the recent disappearance of the supreme treasure ‘Star Tower’ caused massive upheaval in the cosmos, the fact that Luo Feng could remain unscathed after an attack by the strongest being in the cosmos at such a critical moment would likely draw suspicion from many beings.
“Then, it would truly become a problem.”
“There are likely many strongest beings in the cosmos eyeing the Star Tower. At that point, there would be no need for the Insect Race, the Ya Race, or the Machine Race to request their aid—the few strongest beings would come after me one by one. Would I then have to live inside the Star Tower every day?” Luo Feng pondered with frustration.
…
Inside his study, Luo Feng sat with his eyes closed, continuously thinking.
“There are two methods.”
“The first option is to hide in the Primordial Universe until I cultivate to the level of a Sovereign of the Universe. However, breaking through from a Galactic Sovereign to a Sovereign of the Universe is an immensely difficult barrier. It could take another 180 million years or even longer, and success is still not guaranteed. Moreover, the longer this drags on, the more anxious and enraged the three factions will become… they might even set their sights on my Luo family.”
Generally, battles between powerful beings rarely involve their families. That applies only within the human race! Internal conflicts and vendettas among human elites seldom involve families. But when it comes to inter-racial killings?
The slaughters between different races are ruthless.
The ultimate objective is to completely annihilate the opposing race and erase them from existence! No method is deemed too extreme. Currently, with the Youhai Avatar—slightly more powerful than an ordinary top-tier Sovereign of the Universe—standing guard over Earth, and given that Earth itself is a heavily fortified stronghold with the most rigorous defenses, unless a Sovereign of the Universe is mobilized…
There won’t be any problems.
“The second is to make them believe I am a Sovereign of the Universe!” Luo Feng muttered inwardly.
“Why are they in such a hurry to kill me? Because they fear I will become a Sovereign of the Universe… Once they believe I am already a Sovereign of the Universe, they will regret it, thinking they were too slow and I had already broken through,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Moreover, even if they request the strongest beings in the cosmos again, those strongest beings won’t easily agree to attack a Sovereign of the Universe, as cosmic punishment is very severe.”
Two options.
Luo Feng quickly dismissed the first option. Who knows how long it would take to cultivate into a Sovereign of the Universe? There are countless Galactic Sovereigns who have been stuck at the Sovereign-level threshold for endless eons! Moreover, he hadn’t even fully mastered the fifth stage of the God of Beasts Path. To completely master the seventh stage would take an extremely long time.
Moreover, based on the requirements of his teacher, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, it was clear that the teacher hoped Luo Feng would grow stronger through repeated battles and trials, rather than hiding away in some corner for cultivation.
Hiding in a safe place for cultivation would likely mean he’d never become a Sovereign of the Universe!
“Then, only the second option remains.”
“Pretending to be a Sovereign of the Universe.”
“Hmm.”
“My divine body should be very close, nearly identical to that of a Sovereign of the Universe,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. According to the information he had gathered, when a Galactic Sovereign breaks through to become a Sovereign of the Universe, their divine body increases a hundredfold. In other words… even the weakest Sovereign of the Universe has a divine body equivalent to a Galactic Sovereign with ten thousand times the genetic strength!
“The divine body is comparable.”
“My will and consciousness are also at the Sovereign of the Universe level!”
“The secret techniques are as well!”
Luo Feng nodded inwardly. “I possess the peak Sovereign-level secret technique ‘Golden Mountain’ and the ultimate Sovereign-level secret technique ‘Golden Light.’ If I frequently use these two secret techniques and display full Sovereign-level combat power… then who would dare say I’m not a Sovereign of the Universe?”
“The only weakness is my inability to control space-time.”
Controlling space-time allows one to suppress opponents, and even reverse time to revive other Galactic Sovereigns or Immortals!
“In battles between Sovereigns of the Universe, their power is so immense that the constraints from controlling a region of space-time wouldn’t affect such a battle. Controlling space-time is merely a way to suppress weaker beings,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Besides, no one is forcing me to reverse time to revive anyone.”
“Hmm!”
After careful consideration, Luo Feng nodded inwardly.
It was entirely feasible… the most convincing evidence would be the secret techniques. If he displayed the two Sovereign-level secret techniques ‘Golden Mountain’ and ‘Golden Light,’ once more super beings became aware of this, they would quickly identify them as Sovereign-level techniques. And the secret art of the Pattern Diagram School was clearly a secret!
One must become a Sovereign of the Universe to create a Sovereign-level ultimate secret technique! In the absence of any known Pattern Diagram School techniques, this was a common understanding in the Primordial Universe!
“It can definitely succeed.” Luo Feng nodded inwardly.
“I need to prove myself through battle.” Luo Feng had decided that to convince the countless races of the cosmos that he was a Sovereign of the Universe, he naturally had to prove it through combat!
The battle must be convincing!
“Master Sitting Mountain Guest asked me to kill ten top Sovereigns or one Sovereign of the Universe, and then he would forge a peak treasure for me. Hmm, I have no confidence at all in directly killing a Sovereign of the Universe. Moreover, I’ve never fought a Sovereign of the Universe before, and the situation might quickly spiral out of control.”
“This battle must leave no room for error.”
“I must fight impressively! I must shock the countless races of the cosmos, making them clearly recognize that I possess the strength of a Sovereign of the Universe! I must make the Insect Race, the Ya Race, and the Machine Race believe… that I have already broken through, and that trying to eliminate me now would be too costly and not worth it!” Luo Feng immediately stood up.
“Barbara.” Luo Feng called.
The virtual assistant AI, Barbara, responded promptly: “Master.”
“Collect all the information on the top Sovereigns of the Ya Race, the Machine Race, and the Insect Race, as well as their allied top Sovereigns. I need to review and select them one by one,” Luo Feng instructed. He had already decided his target would be selected from the alliances of these three races.
“Understood!”
Whoosh! In just a moment—
“All the information has been collected. Here are the detailed dossiers,” Barbara reported. “Each dossier of the top Sovereigns is very comprehensive, including their growth records, numerous battle records, strength assessments, treasures, and more.”
Luo Feng nodded and ordered, “One by one.”
Then Luo Feng began to immerse himself in studying the detailed information of these top Sovereigns.
…
Just as Luo Feng was selecting his unfortunate prey, an email arrived from the Chaos City Lord. The content was simple: “Come quickly!”
Seeing this email made Luo Feng immediately stop selecting his targets and head straight to the top of Thunder Island, to the Chaos City Lord’s temple.
…
Endless air currents filled the space, and in front of the temple stood a round table resembling jade carvings. Two figures sat facing each other—one was the Chaos City Lord in golden robes, and the other was an extremely muscular giant with a dragon tail wearing a simple, loose battle robe. He sat there like a mountain, exuding a domineering aura.
As Luo Feng arrived, he immediately identified the other figure as also being a Sovereign of the Universe.
“Luo Feng, this is Lord Dragonwalk,” the Chaos City Lord said upon seeing Luo Feng’s arrival.
“Master, Lord Dragonwalk,” Luo Feng respectfully saluted.
“Luo Feng,” the Chaos City Lord turned to him, “I summoned you because there is an extremely important matter. According to our intelligence, something significant just occurred at the core territory of the Zu Shen Sect. All the other islands of the Zu Shen Sect detected the instantaneous disappearance of the supreme treasure ‘Five-Color Extreme Light Lake’ before it reappeared. However, all the inheritors on Purple Jing Island were completely unaware of this event. Do you know what this indicates? It means—Purple Jing Island’s space-time was controlled, and all the powerful beings were completely unaware of everything happening around them.”
“A Sovereign of the Universe, though able to dominate a realm of space-time, cannot stop all the Galactic Sovereigns on Purple Jing Island from witnessing everything.”
“Only a strongest being in the cosmos!”
“A strongest being in the cosmos concealed everything… and the Five-Color Extreme Light Lake disappeared for a moment. It’s highly likely that a certain strongest being in the cosmos infiltrated the core territory of the Zu Shen Sect.” The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, “Was that strongest being in the cosmos there to kill you?”
