The Overlords from various factions across the cosmos were still tirelessly searching star by star, desperately seeking traces of the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord. Suddenly, a piece of news spread—within the Northern Border Alliance, the ‘Star River Sovereign’ had engaged in battle with the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord. The two had fought head-on, yet during the Star River Sovereign’s full-force assault, the Pavilion Lord sustained only a negligible injury, his aura nearly unchanged. Afterwards, the Star River Sovereign had voluntarily withdrawn.
“Impossible!”
“Did the Star River Sovereign really give it his all? Even I, if I were to withstand such an attack, would suffer severe injuries. Yet the Pavilion Lord’s aura barely changed at all?”
“How could he be so powerful?”
“Could the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord have hidden inside the Blood-Cloud Pavilion, using it to block that move? What? He blocked the Star River Sovereign’s ultimate technique directly in open combat?”
The Overlords searching across countless primordial stars were utterly stunned. They refused to believe what they had heard. They dug deeper, questioning every detail, and the more they learned about that battle, the more despair they felt. Goodness, the Star River Sovereign had used his most powerful treasure and his most heaven-defying technique.
Yet the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord had taken it head-on, his injuries practically negligible?
Powerlessness!
A sense of helplessness surged within every Overlord’s heart. Even existences like the Fire God Sovereign, confident in being on par with the Star River Sovereign, dared not claim superiority over him.
“Let’s go.”
“Head back.”
“Are we really leaving like this?”
“What else can we do? If the Star River Sovereign couldn’t do anything, then no Overlord can threaten the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord. Even the strongest beings in the universe are only slightly stronger than the Star River Sovereign. Within the Primordial Universe, the might of the strongest beings is greatly restricted… If the Star River Sovereign couldn’t wound the Pavilion Lord seriously, what more could the strongest beings hope to achieve? Inflict grave injuries on the Pavilion Lord?”
“Let’s go.”
…
One by one, the Overlords gave up, for this pursuit had made them feel utterly powerless.
“Never thought the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord would become this strong.”
“In the past, although the Pavilion Lord was formidable, he wasn’t this absurd. When beings like the Star River Sovereign pursued him, the Pavilion Lord would flee immediately, not daring to resist.”
“Now that his strength has grown, killing him is even harder.”
One by one, the Overlords began to leave.
This is the universe.
Strength determines destiny!
No matter how wild, reckless, or evil one may be, if one reaches the level of the strongest beings in the universe, all factions will dare not provoke, instead seeking to appease. For example, solitary beings like ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’ and ‘Void True Demon God,’ who have eccentric temperaments and kill at will, yet no faction dares to retaliate or even speak out. Why?
Not to mention reaching the level of the strongest beings, even reaching the level of the Star River Sovereign is enough to earn frantic invitations and worship from all factions.
Clearly—
The Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord, having taken the Star River Sovereign’s ultimate move without significant injury, was already nearly at that level.
“Stay away from that madman from now on.”
“Avoid provoking him. You can’t kill him, he’s too good at escaping, and he has no attachments. Unless you’re willing to pay an infinite price to suppress and seal him away forever, but no faction is willing to pay such a price. After all, the Pavilion Lord is just an individual, not threatening the survival of any faction.”
One battle decided one’s status.
The Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord had transformed from a target hunted by all factions into one they now ignored and avoided.
It wasn’t that the factions didn’t want to recruit him, but historically… attempting to recruit the Pavilion Lord often resulted in attacks and slaughters from him. He was simply a madman!
…
Luo Feng had originally planned to stay on the primordial star for a few more days, but unexpectedly, the Overlords were leaving one by one, causing the search intensity to drop significantly. Naturally, Luo Feng quietly slipped away from the primordial star and headed directly to the outside…
Luo Feng’s Divine Realm.
“Roar~~~” Even without wind, the sea surged three feet high, and the endless vast ocean, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, bore waves even more colossal, like rolling thunder, surging and roaring.
Above the boundless Nether Sea, at the heart of the Divine Realm’s central palace.
Luo Feng stood before the palace, gazing down at his boundless Divine Realm.
“I’m back.”
“It’s over.”
Luo Feng smiled, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.
Recalling the events of his “famous battle,” it all began when the Void True Demon God came to kill him. He had set out to slay the “Heavenly Splendor Venerable,” only to discover him hiding within a flying palace-type treasure. This triggered an even greater storm—slaughtering over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns, clashing with Overlords, unleashing the Microcosm Universe technique to annihilate more than 6,000 Cosmic Sovereigns. Truly, his name shook the cosmos, striking awe across the universe.
The Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord’s brief appearance stirred a massive storm, completely diverting attention.
“My goal has been achieved.”
“I’m on par with the Banfu Sovereign, and I’ve displayed my ultimate secret techniques. I am now undeniably an Overlord—a particularly difficult one to deal with.” Luo Feng mused. His only weakness was… his inability to control a space-time domain. This might also raise suspicions among some powerful beings.
But—
What did suspicion matter? The ability to unleash ‘Golden Light’ and ‘Microcosm Universe’ had already proven his absolute Overlord-level combat strength. From a strategic perspective of the various cosmic factions, Luo Feng was now clearly an Overlord-tier fighter, with multiple clones, making him extremely difficult to handle.
“But the Star River Sovereign is truly formidable,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “Even with the Armor of Calamity, had it not been for the Star Tower Shuttle absorbing the impact… a single strike could have annihilated 50% of my divine body.”
The Star Tower Shuttle absorbed the initial impact.
The residual impact, even weakened by the Armor of Tribulation, still caused a 0.2% loss to his divine body.
If only the Blood Shadow Blade had absorbed it… a 50% loss would be normal. Perhaps one or two more strikes could lead to his demise! Unless he was fully equipped!
“Compared to the strongest Overlords, my divine body is somewhat weak, and my weapon is also too inferior.” Luo Feng frowned. “Fighting Overlords with just the Blood Shadow Blade seems insufficient.”
The Fire Sovereign, with a single clone, wielded supreme treasures—twin hammers of unparalleled combined power.
And the Fire Sovereign wasn’t even among the most prominent figures in the cosmos.
Like Yan Di, wielding the ‘Flame God Halberd,’ a supreme treasure among peak artifacts—on par with Luo Feng’s ‘Armor of Tribulation.’
The Chaos City Lord… had three clones, with the strongest one battling in the Cosmic Sea. Even the one remaining in the Primordial Universe wore the Thousand-Treasure Robe and wielded a treasure staff. The Thousand-Treasure Robe was merely a domain-type treasure, on par with the Star River Sovereign’s domain-type treasure… As for offensive treasures, although Luo Feng had never seen his teacher fight, he estimated they were comparable.
“My battle weapons are somewhat lacking.”
“Hmm.”
“Didn’t the teacher say that if I were to kill ten top-tier Cosmic Tyrants, or one Overlord, he would forge me a peak treasure?” Luo Feng mused. “For example, forging a supreme peak treasure, like the ‘Yan God Halberd,’ would suffice.”
It didn’t necessarily have to be a peak domain-type treasure.
After all, some supreme peak offensive treasures were equally valuable.
Luo Feng flipped his hand, producing a green stone token.
“Teacher.” Luo Feng’s consciousness entered the token, sending a message. This token was an ordinary treasure crafted by Sitting Mountain Guest specifically for communication. This also made Luo Feng admire Sitting Mountain Guest—treasures like the Blood-Cloud Pearl for disguise, the green stone token for communication, the Robe Armor, the Star Tower, and others were all made with extremely strict requirements for their masters.
In short, Sitting Mountain Guest’s craftsmanship was vastly different from naturally occurring treasures in the cosmos.
“Haha, my disciple, I already know everything you’ve done on the primordial star. However, why did you confront the Star River Sovereign directly? This confrontation has scared off all factions. It will be difficult for them to unite against you in the future.” A message quickly came through.
Luo Feng was taken aback.
So that was it…
No wonder his teacher had always fled immediately upon encountering extremely powerful beings like the Star River Sovereign. Even a clone of the teacher, as a cosmic supreme, could easily withstand the Star River Sovereign’s assault.
“I didn’t expect that, and at that time, I couldn’t even escape.” Luo Feng replied.
“That’s true. Your escape ability isn’t good enough.”
When it came to escape techniques, the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord back then—actually a disguise of Sitting Mountain Guest—naturally had exceptional escape capabilities.
“What do you need?” Sitting Mountain Guest asked again.
“Teacher, I directly killed one of the Fire Sovereign’s clones. Shouldn’t that count as slaying an Overlord?” Luo Feng asked.
“My disciple, you’re thinking too optimistically.” Sitting Mountain Guest replied.
Luo Feng was speechless.
Looks like that wasn’t the case.
“Of course not.” Sitting Mountain Guest said.
“But killing a clone of an Overlord should be just as difficult as killing the real one.” Luo Feng argued.
“Not at all,” Sitting Mountain Guest replied. “The Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord is infamous. Without clones, no one would dare face you alone without confidence. But those with clones dare to take risks even if slightly weaker. Tell me… would the Fire Sovereign dare to face you alone without clones?”
Luo Feng was speechless.
That was true.
Many Overlords who pursued him later acted in groups of two or three, while those who acted alone had their own advantages.
“No one is a fool. Killing an Overlord isn’t as easy as you think. Only with clones would they occasionally take risks, giving you opportunities.” Sitting Mountain Guest laughed. “Wanting me to forge you a peak treasure for free… it’s not that simple.”
Luo Feng pouted.
Helplessly.
“Teacher, I killed the Fire Sovereign’s clone and obtained some treasures. But I have nowhere to exchange them. If I offer them to the race… wouldn’t that expose my identity?” Luo Feng was also concerned about this matter. The treasures obtained by the Blood-Cloud Pavilion Lord were stolen goods. Many famous treasures could be easily identified.
So, selling them was a big problem.
“That’s true.”
“Then give them to me. Come here and exchange them.” Sitting Mountain Guest said. “Here’s the cosmic coordinates to my place… come directly.”
A string of coordinates was transmitted.
Luo Feng became excited…
It had been so long since he became Sitting Mountain Guest’s disciple, yet he had never visited his teacher’s lair.
“Yes, disciple will come as quickly as possible.” Without hesitation, Luo Feng quickly organized his treasures and left his Divine Realm, heading directly for Sitting Mountain Guest’s lair.
