In the endless ocean of the 08625th Origin Star, a figure in a blood-red battle robe, wearing a blood-red mask and golden curved horns, the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, was flying across the sky. Within his world ring, Luo Feng’s Earthling true self was dealing with the spoils of war.
Inside the world ring:
Luo Feng, wearing black armor and a single horn on his forehead, stood on the vast land. Before him were a pair of massive divine war hammers, an ancient top-tier divine armor set, a green seed-shaped divine treasure, and a world ring.
“Break!”
Luo Feng gazed at these divine treasures and the world ring, immediately sending out five streams of divine power. Two streams directly entered the divine war hammers, two others entered the divine armor and the green seed respectively, while the last stream went into the world ring.
Boom!
Luo Feng had no patience to waste more effort on a single world ring and forcefully destroyed it. With a deafening explosion, a large amount of materials, heavy treasures, and some divine treasures fell from the sky like flower petals in the wind, quickly piling up into a mountainous heap on the ground.
“This Flame Subduing Sovereign, too, stored over a dozen divine treasures, each marked with a life imprint. Even the heavy treasures, most of them also bore life imprints,” Luo Feng shook his head.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
He again sent out streams of divine power, directly rushing into each divine treasure and heavy treasure. The divine power continuously surged through them. As the saying goes, with enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground down to a sewing needle. Breaking these imprints forcibly was simply a matter of repeatedly attacking them with divine power until they naturally collapsed.
…
One of Luo Feng’s clones roamed the Origin Star under the ancient and renowned identity of the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord.
Another clone was fully immersed in forcibly breaking the life imprints on those divine and heavy treasures.
“Exhilarating.”
“Amazing.”
Luo Feng felt a genuine sense of exhilaration. Ever since he nervously left Earth and entered the universe, he had always been striving and fighting, constantly under immense pressure, always feeling as though he couldn’t fully control his own fate, let alone protect the fate of Earthlings.
But now, Luo Feng had the confidence.
“Across the entire universe, I may not be the strongest. There are many who are stronger than me.”
“There are also many who are my equals. Even with the Star Tower, I might only be on par with the most powerful of the Cosmic Sovereigns.”
“But at least… I now stand among the very top of this boundless universe!”
A deep sense of joy welled up inside him. Wasn’t the entire pursuit of strength meant to achieve such freedom and confidence?
“This achievement, as my teacher, Sovereign Hun Yuan, said, proves that I am now a Cosmic Sovereign.”
Luo Feng continued to wear down the life imprints with brute force while quietly anticipating, “After discussions within the Hong Alliance, I should soon qualify to become a Pavilion Lord of the Hong Alliance.”
“And then, just as the Founder of the Axe promised, the day I sit alongside them will be the day Earth is reclaimed.”
“An endless struggle…”
“One hundred and eighty million years…”
“It’s almost here.”
Luo Feng murmured to himself. While other cultivators might perceive Luo Feng’s cultivation time as merely over ten thousand years, his actual time spent was indeed one hundred and eighty million years. For someone with less determination, such an immense span of time alone would have been enough to drive them to madness or decay.
As he forcefully broke through the life imprints,
“Pop!” “Pop!” “Pop!”…
One by one, the life imprints within the heavy treasures collapsed and dissipated.
After a while,
The life imprints on the common divine treasures also collapsed and dissipated.
A little later,
Even the sole high-tier divine treasure’s life imprint was destroyed.
After more than half an hour and a massive expenditure of divine power, the pair of massive divine hammers and the top-tier armor were finally completely unmarked.
“These items no longer belong to Flame Subduing Sovereign,” Luo Feng carefully screened through the spoils with his divine power, fully ‘cleansing’ everything obtained from Flame Subduing Sovereign.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng’s gaze fell on the mountainous pile of materials. His divine power immediately locked onto one item. A completely purple crystal column slowly floated upward. On its surface were numerous mysterious patterns, subtly different from others, and these patterns confirmed Luo Feng’s recognition.
“Zhenchang Valley?” Luo Feng furrowed his brow, then smiled, “My luck is pretty good.”
During the opening of the Origin Star,
The Qishen Palace was the greatest treasure trove.
However, there were several other significant treasure locations second only to Qishen Palace. One of them was already revealed—the Sword River Luo. Some treasure locations had appeared but had not yet been opened. Qishen Palace had yet to be opened… and ‘Zhenchang Valley’ was another such hidden treasure location, already revealed but not yet accessible.
Luo Feng was aware of this information and immediately recognized the crystal column as the token of Zhenchang Valley. It was said there were nine such tokens in total, and when all nine were gathered, Zhenchang Valley would officially open.
Only those possessing the token could enter Zhenchang Valley.
Otherwise, entry was impossible.
…
While Luo Feng’s true self was inside the world ring, breaking life imprints and examining the token of Zhenchang Valley…
The Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, having flown erratically and fled to another Origin Star, was now being relentlessly pursued and hunted.
At this time, the news of Flame Subduing Sovereign’s clone being killed had already spread rapidly among the upper echelons of various cosmic powers.
“Flame Subduing Sovereign’s Jiu Huo clone was actually killed, and his divine treasure was stolen!”
“Flame Subduing Sovereign has already announced that the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord is even stronger than he was over three million epochs ago. He has also changed to a new divine treasure, using a long, shuttle-like divine treasure.”
“If even Flame Subduing Sovereign couldn’t withstand him, we must be cautious. Without sufficient life-saving capabilities, no one should confront the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord alone.”
Thus…
Cosmic Sovereigns either acted in groups of two or three, or some pursued the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord alone—those with massive divine bodies, extremely powerful protective divine treasures, or flying palace-type divine treasures, or those who were already considered among the peak of the Cosmic Sovereigns. In short, only those with sufficient confidence dared to act alone.
…
“Pursuing me?” Luo Feng laughed heartily while flying across the sky. “Each Origin Star has 10,081 spatial whirlpools, allowing me to change my path freely. Even if all the major cosmic powers send several Cosmic Sovereigns, how many Cosmic Sovereigns are there in total? And those with insufficient strength can’t even stop me.”
Using this ‘famous battle’ plan, Luo Feng allowed the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord identity to make an appearance.
Firstly, to test the might of the supreme divine treasures.
Secondly, the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord’s appearance was enough to divert attention, shifting the anger of the three alliances temporarily. Compared to the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, the pursuit of Luo Feng was merely an internal conflict among the four peak races, while the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord had provoked the true wrath of all cosmic powers.
“The goal has been achieved.”
“It’s time to return to my divine nation.” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “How should I return?”
He flew in a completely random pattern, sometimes even approaching the vortex passages leading to the outside, but never exiting, because he knew…
Too predictable a path would likely be ambushed by powerful beings waiting outside the vortex passages.
…
As Luo Feng pondered how to leave the Origin Star and return to his divine nation, he arrived at a vortex passage and without hesitation, stepped right in.
“Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, don’t run.”
“Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, dare you fight me?” The three pursuing Cosmic Sovereigns could only watch helplessly as Luo Feng escaped into the next Origin Star—Number 08605.
…
Origin Star 08605.
As Luo Feng stepped into the vast cosmos, he saw in the distance six figures, the distance between them surprisingly less than ten million kilometers. At their head was a twisted dark void, and the other five towering figures also exuded formidable auras.
“Northern Border Alliance!” Luo Feng instantly recognized them.
“Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord!”
Almost simultaneously, several voices from the six figures shouted out.
“Hahaha, Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, we were just preparing to go to that Origin Star to hunt you down, but who would have thought you’d come to this Origin Star and run into us.”
“What lucky fortune for us.”
“Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord, of all the paths you could have taken, you chose the one that crossed ours! You keep switching Origin Stars, and we keep changing our routes too. Finally, we’ve met.”
The six Cosmic Sovereigns of the Northern Border Alliance had certainly not had an easy time.
All along the way, they had constantly received updates: the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord had gone to the xx Origin Star, then to another xx Origin Star…
With such rapid changes,
The six Cosmic Sovereigns of the Northern Border Alliance had to keep changing their routes as well. After all, chasing behind the Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord would mean they could never catch up. They had to get ahead and block him! But blocking required luck, since there were so many spatial whirlpools, no one could know which one Luo Feng would go through.
Even a slight change in direction could result in a massive distance gap.
Luo Feng, however, paid no heed to their voices. Among these six Cosmic Sovereigns, the other five, although extremely powerful and well-known in the cosmos, posed no real threat to Luo Feng, who possessed the Star Tower. The one who truly caught his attention was the leader—the dark void existence.
“Star River Sovereign?” Luo Feng spoke up.
“Blood Cloud Pavilion Lord,” the towering dark void figure responded. “This is our first encounter, isn’t it? Twice before, I pursued you, but you had already fled before I could see you. This time, our luck is good… we finally encountered you.”
Hua~~~~
Instantly, an infinite number of starlight points instantly covered the entire Origin Star, and powerful bindings spread everywhere—it was a top-tier domain-type divine treasure.
“Now that we’ve met, you won’t escape. I heard from Flame Subduing Sovereign that you’re quite formidable. So I’m very eager to see… if you can survive my grasp. If you can, you might even escape this entire encirclement plan.” The towering dark void figure spoke.
Luo Feng gazed at him from afar but didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.
Because…
Star River Sovereign’s reputation was well known. In terms of power, status, and fame, he was no less than Luo Feng’s teacher, Hun Yuan Sovereign! He was absolutely among the very top of the Cosmic Sovereigns! Even the strongest beings in the universe could not overpower Star River Sovereign. It was precisely because of all this that he had built such an immense reputation and awe-inspiring presence.
