After leaving the Primeval Universe, Luo Feng returned to his own Divine Kingdom.
The ocean was tumultuous with towering waves. Above the boundless dark sea, a palace enveloped in an eerie glow floated. Luo Feng stood on the plaza before the palace, with the mighty Golden-Horned Giant Beast coiled beside him.
In Luo Feng’s hand appeared an ancient nine-tiered pagoda, which flew directly toward the Golden-Horned Giant Beast.
“From today onward, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast will use the Star Pagoda!”
“As for my Earthling True Body, it will utilize the Murderous Wu Wings, the Armor of Tribulation, and the Residual Image.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. This arrangement was indeed optimal. The Golden-Horned Giant Beast also carried another identity—the Blood Cloud Palace Lord—and thus possessed the Blood Cloud Pearl, which inherently had concealment capabilities.
It could alter life signatures and even change the appearance of top treasures. Although it was difficult to assess the Blood Cloud Pearl’s exact level, it had cost the Old Man of Mount Sit great effort to forge.
In regular battles, the Star Pagoda could be shrunk into a tiny needle-like form. However, if it expanded, those who paid attention would easily detect something unusual. However, with the Blood Cloud Pearl, the Star Pagoda’s appearance could be completely altered. Since the Blood Cloud Pearl naturally had the ability to disguise and change appearances, no one would be able to recognize it.
“Even Master Chaos said that mere cultivation alone won’t make one a Cosmic Sovereign. He told me to hone myself through battle, just as Master Sitao said.” Luo Feng nodded inwardly.
…
On the same day, in the pavilion outside Luo Feng’s palace on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, some attendants from the Luo family had prepared a fine banquet.
Luo Feng and Niu Zunzhe of the Niuzhou sat opposite each other.
The burly, triangular-headed Niuzhou Zunzhe appeared somewhat awkward and hurriedly said, “Daohe, you summoned me. There was no need to prepare such fine wine. If there’s anything you need, just say the word. I will do my utmost!” Niuzhou Zunzhe wasn’t foolish. After all, the Luo Feng before him now was already comparable to Sovereign Tianyi, Zushu Zunzhe, and Xingyu Demon Sovereign. Who among the Cosmic Zunzhes of the races wouldn’t want to befriend him?
“There is indeed something I need to trouble you with.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
“Please speak.” Niuzhou Zunzhe quickly replied, “But my abilities are limited. I’m afraid I might not do it well.”
“It’s simple.” Luo Feng said, “Help me find the spatial coordinates of the Demon Race’s Tianhua Zunzhe.” Places like open-air bars gathered a large number of Cosmic Zunzhes. Those of the status of Sovereign Tianyi and Xingyu Demon Sovereign rarely showed up in person. Luo Feng himself couldn’t afford to loiter there every day either.
“Tracking someone’s movements?” Niuzhou Zunzhe’s eyes lit up. “That’s exactly what I’m good at. I may not be much in terms of actual combat among the Cosmic Zunzhes, but when it comes to gathering intelligence, hahaha…”
Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
The conversations among the powerful beings at places like open-air bars often involved critical information, which was usually shielded from eavesdropping. Therefore, even if one were to loiter there, it would be hard to gather much information. This was where “networks” came into play. Niuzhou Zunzhe was known as an information hawk, excelling in intelligence gathering, with extensive connections and many friends, capable of collecting vast amounts of information.
“Tianhua Zunzhe should be on a Primitive Star.” Niuzhou Zunzhe chuckled. “Actually, most of the Demon Race’s top Cosmic Overlords are wandering on Primitive Stars. From the information I’ve gathered, Tianhua Zunzhe appeared on Primitive Star 02002 over a thousand years ago. But as you know, Daohe, beings of such a level usually act alone and disappear quickly. Later, since I didn’t actively track him, I’m not sure where he is now. But I’d guess he’s still on a Primitive Star.”
Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. “Then I’ll trouble you with this.”
“Small matter, small matter. Daohe, if you have any more tasks like this, just come to me.” Niuzhou Zunzhe pounded his chest, declaring his willingness. He clearly understood that the more tasks he could handle for Luo Feng, the stronger his backing would become. In the current circles of the Cosmic Zunzhes, everyone knew that Sovereign Qianwu had regained his status and repaid his debts, all because he was the teacher of Luo Feng’s son. His status and influence had significantly increased, and he was now held in much higher regard by other Cosmic Zunzhes.
“There’s no time to lose. Daohe, I’ll go gather information right away.” Niuzhou Zunzhe smiled.
Luo Feng nodded.
Niuzhou Zunzhe instantly vanished into thin air and immediately set off.
…
Luo Feng was acutely aware that tracking the movements of a supreme powerhouse was an extremely challenging task. If someone deliberately concealed themselves—as Luo Feng himself had done—even the combined efforts of the Demon Race, the Machine Race, and the Insect Race would fail to locate them. However, Tianhua Zunzhe was not intentionally hiding and was openly roaming the Primitive Stars…
It was estimated that with some effort and time, he could be found.
“Before that, I’ll continue my cultivation on the Cercis Island.” Luo Feng was confident and calm. That very day, his Earthling True Body used a Divine Kingdom transmission to reach Cercis Island. Upon arrival, he immersed himself in cultivation. After more than two months, he finally left for the inheritance site for the first time.
On Cercis Island, palaces stood one after another.
“Look.”
“It’s Luo Feng.”
“Luo Feng is heading to the inheritance site again.”
Inheritors from various factions, tasked with monitoring Luo Feng, immediately recorded the event and quickly transmitted the information back to their respective races.
…
In a vast expanse of cosmic space, three consciousnesses crossed infinite time and space and descended. Instantly, the surrounding cosmic space twisted, as if existing in another dimension.
A massive black oval sphere… a breathtakingly beautiful slender figure… a giant silver-white serpent’s head surrounded by countless snake shadows…
“Machine, what’s going on? How is Luo Feng still alive?” the slender figure vaguely rebuked in anger.
“You said the Void True Demon God personally handled it?” the silver-white serpent head also raged.
Previously, the Void True Demon God had infiltrated the sacred territory of the Ancestral God Cult to assassinate Luo Feng but failed. Afterward, the Void True Demon God did not contact the Machine Race’s Father God. As one of the most formidable beings in the universe, the Father God of the Machine Race naturally possessed patience. He did not hastily inquire but instead meticulously gathered intelligence about the human race first. During these two months…
Luo Feng had appeared in Chaos City but had directly entered the City Lord’s Mansion, known only to a few.
Although the Machine Race had spies in Chaos City, their presence was limited, and they failed to notice Luo Feng entering and leaving the City Lord’s Mansion.
It wasn’t until this time… Luo Feng appeared on Cercis Island, and the Machine Race, Insect Race, and Demon Race finally learned that Luo Feng was still alive!
“Since I invited the Void True Demon God to handle it, you know his temper. Hurrying him would only anger that stone-hearted one.” The black oval sphere’s projection said. “This time, I learned that Luo Feng was still alive and went to ask him. Just now, I met him and spoke with him.”
“What exactly happened?” the silver-white serpent head asked urgently.
The slender figure also stared at the black oval sphere.
The four peak races were locked in mutual battles and struggles. This temporary alliance was only because of their shared target—the human Luo Feng. In reality, their relations were already very poor.
The Void True Demon God stated that he had suddenly descended upon Cercis Island and immediately unleashed his lethal strike. However, he never anticipated that the Dual-Faced Ancestral God from the Ancestral God Cult had been secretly residing beside Luo Feng, providing covert protection. The moment he attacked… the Ancestral God from the Ancestral God Cult counterattacked. Despite his utmost efforts, he still failed to eliminate Luo Feng,” the black sphere’s projection explained.
“Ancestral God?”
“Dual-Faced Ancestral God?”
Both the silver-white serpent head and the slender figure were shocked.
“A god secretly protecting someone in disguise?” The slender figure’s voice was incredibly captivating. “How is that possible?”
“That’s exactly what happened.” the black sphere slowly replied.
“If the Void True Demon God failed once, let him try again,” said the silver-white serpent head. “Since he accepted the task and received our rewards, he must see it through properly. Besides, how could a Primordial God—a being of such lofty status—continue protecting Luo Feng indefinitely? Let the Void True Demon God strike once more, and he will surely succeed.”
“Moncha!”
The black sphere projection bellowed in fury. “The combined worth of our three factions barely equals a single supreme treasure! The Void True Demon God holds an exalted status—he stands among the mightiest existences in the Cosmic Sea. Securing his intervention once was already a monumental achievement. Do you truly believe he would act again? If the Ancestral God tolerated his first strike, demanding a second would be nothing short of openly provoking the Ancestral God! Do you imagine… that even a supreme-tier treasure could compel the Void True Demon God to openly defy the Ancestral God Cult?”
(Note: “祖God” is translated as “Ancestral God” based on contextual inference of a supreme deity figure. For precise terminology, please confirm if “Ancestral God” aligns with the original intent or provide specific pinyin/transliteration guidance.)
“But he failed.” the silver-white serpent head said.
“The Void True Demon God said… he did his utmost, even unleashing his full power under cosmic suppression. He did enough, more than enough for the value of a top-tier treasure.” the black sphere projection replied.
The slender figure and the silver-white serpent head fell silent for a moment.
The Void True Demon God’s status was indeed extraordinary. As a lone wanderer, none of the major powers dared to provoke him lightly, especially since he possessed an ultimate treasure for protection! He was as arrogant and infuriating as the smiling yet insidious Old Man of Mount Sitao, whom all the major powers secretly cursed but could only swallow their shattered teeth in silence.
“So what do we do now?”
“Luo Feng has reappeared on Cercis Island. If we invite another Cosmic Overlord and the Ancestral God is still secretly protecting him, wouldn’t that just waste another treasure?” Both the slender figure and the silver-white serpent head had responsibilities to their races and naturally did not want to waste treasures recklessly.
The black sphere projection said, “Let’s wait for now. The Ancestral God may still be secretly protecting him, but the longer it goes on, the less likely the Ancestral God can keep protecting him forever. Then we can invite another Cosmic Overlord!”
“For now, we can only wait.”
“Who should we invite next?”
“In my opinion, let’s invite Sitao. Sitao is extremely cunning, has many tricks, and is also highly skilled in soul attacks. His chances of success would be higher than the Void True Demon God’s.”
“Inviting Sitao would likely come with a steep price.”
“How would we know unless we try?”
“Let’s wait for now. After some time passes, Female Sovereign, you contact Sitao. Sitao has the closest relationship with you.”
Soon, the three beings reached an agreement and then their three consciousnesses instantly departed.
The starry expanse returned to its normal tranquility.
…
Cercis Island.
It had been more than a year since the Void True Demon God had come to kill him. Luo Feng had finally fully comprehended the fifth stage of the “Beast God Path” and had begun studying the sixth stage. This study immediately made Luo Feng feel as if he had plunged into an ocean of knowledge, vast and boundless, immeasurably difficult and complex. Indeed, the further he advanced, the more exaggerated the difficulty became.
However, after mastering the fifth stage, his foundation became even more solid, deepening his expertise in the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow, making it easier for him to create secret techniques than before.
He effortlessly created another secret technique at the peak Cosmic Sovereign level, which he named “Golden River.”
“Daohe, Daohe, I’ve located Tianhua Zunzhe’s position.” An email interrupted Luo Feng’s cultivation days on Cercis Island.
