Chapter 1129: Gathering of the Six Titans

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

An ancient, ashen-gray giant round table is surrounded by endless currents of air. Around this ashen-gray stone table are six massive stone chairs, each with intricate carvings on their chair backs, and even the surface of the stone table itself is covered in elaborate engravings depicting various scenes.

“Master.”

“Sit down first.” Chaos City Lord walked over and sat directly, then pointed to the second seat on his left, “You sit there.”

“Yes.” Luo Feng sat down, glancing at the stone table before him, his heart filled with curiosity. He had followed his master for so many years but had never known there was such a place within his master’s palace. This place… was actually a floating domain constructed in midair directly above Chaos City Lord’s palace.

Luo Feng’s gaze swept over the carvings on the stone table. The engravings depicted various scenes: three powerful beings respectfully bowing to a single mighty figure, a lone warrior slaughtering in all directions, two powerful beings joining forces to attack a group of warriors… The carvings were very abstract, and Luo Feng vaguely recognized one of the figures as Chaos City Lord.

“There’s even a carving on my chair,” Luo Feng noticed before sitting down. The chair back also had several scenes engraved upon it, such as one figure facing a dense crowd of thousands upon thousands, or one figure unleashing a massive oval shield that covered thousands of figures, all of whom collapsed and died in agony…

“You must have guessed by now,” Chaos City Lord smiled at Luo Feng. “The highest decision-making authority of the Human Race has unanimously approved. You have now become the 19th Cosmic Lord of our race.”

Luo Feng first felt an uncontrollable surge of joy.

Then he inwardly startled, unable to help exclaiming, “The 19th?”

So before this, the Human Race had already produced a total of 18 Cosmic Lords? This was an astonishingly high number compared to the Cosmic Lords of other races known to Luo Feng. For instance, the Insect Race and the Machine Race had very few Cosmic Lords—whether they even reached double digits was uncertain. As for the Demon Race, their number of Cosmic Lords was estimated to be at most on par with that of the Humans.

“Yes,” Chaos City Lord nodded slightly.

“The data I had access to… How come…” Luo Feng looked slightly puzzled. Previously, he had top-tier Cosmic Overlord authority, allowing him to access data on Cosmic Lords of other factions across the universe, including those of the Human Race. According to what he had found, the Human Race should have only fifteen Cosmic Lords.

How did it become eighteen?

“You found fifteen?” Chaos City Lord chuckled. “No matter which faction, there are always some secrets. Among the Cosmic Lords, the Human Race also has some who are not publicly known. Excluding you, the entire Human Race has eighteen Cosmic Lords. My Virtual Universe Company and the Axe Fighting Arena each have five, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has three, the First Cosmic Bank has three, and the Cosmic Milky Way Bank has two.”

Luo Feng listened attentively.

This indeed differed from what he previously knew. Previously, he had known that the Virtual Universe Company had only four, clearly indicating one had always been hidden.

“Of course, with you added, my Virtual Universe Company now has six,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “You are also the first of my disciples to reach the level of a Cosmic Lord. Hahaha… At least in this aspect, I can finally have the upper hand over my junior apprentice brother.”

“Junior apprentice brother?” Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, unable to help asking, “Master has junior apprentice brothers?”

“I have two junior apprentice brothers,” Chaos City Lord said. “The two junior apprentices I mentioned have also become Cosmic Lords. If we include those who are not Cosmic Lords, there are quite a few.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Like his own senior and junior apprentices, there were many.

Wait!

If there are senior and junior apprentices, there must be a master! Master’s two junior apprentices are both Cosmic Lords, which means… that master must have trained three Cosmic Lords? Who is that master?

“I’ll first introduce to you the Cosmic Lords from my Virtual Universe Company branch,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “The first is Lord Longxing. Longxing is an early elder of our company and became a Cosmic Lord long ago. You’ve met him.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“The second is my junior apprentice brother, Lord Icepeak. He is very difficult to approach, extremely cold and reclusive, but he has always performed well in major matters.”

Luo Feng also knew of Lord Icepeak. Icepeak was a supreme close-combat existence, extremely powerful, among the peak Cosmic Lords. Compared with Chaos City Lord, he was probably only slightly weaker. In the vast universe, he was definitely an extremely powerful existence, possibly even stronger than Emperor Yan.

“The third is my junior apprentice brother, Lord Darkness. He rarely interferes in major or minor affairs of the Human Race and seldom appears, so few even know of his existence. Back then, he was also very low-key under our master’s tutelage, and before anyone noticed, he had quietly become a Cosmic Lord,” Chaos City Lord chuckled.

Luo Feng was inwardly startled.

Lord Darkness…

He had never heard of this existence before.

“The major powers of the universe are unaware that our Human Race has such a being. Of course, Lord Darkness is extremely famous in the Cosmic Sea! He is an extremely terrifying Cosmic Lord… Haha, when the major powers of the universe encounter Lord Darkness in the Cosmic Sea, they probably don’t even realize that Lord Darkness is actually from the Human Race,” Chaos City Lord said.

“The fourth is Lord Youhou,” Chaos City Lord continued. “Before you entered the upper echelons, among the five Cosmic Lords of my Virtual Universe Company, Youhou was the youngest. Moreover, he is the direct disciple of my junior apprentice brother, Lord Darkness.”

“What?” Luo Feng was surprised.

Lord Youhou was known for being extremely arrogant and flamboyant, and was a Cosmic Lord with formidable combat and killing power. Of course, compared to Icepeak Lord and Chaos City Lord, he was somewhat weaker, but still a relatively powerful Cosmic Lord in the universe. In terms of combat strength, he was probably close to the disguised strength of the former Blood Cloud Hall Lord.

Such a Cosmic Lord was actually the disciple of Lord Darkness.

“My junior apprentice brother’s disciple became a Cosmic Lord, and now my own disciple has also become a Cosmic Lord,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “From now on, our Virtual Universe branch will have six Cosmic Lords.”

“Alright, I will summon the other four now.”

“At least, our Virtual Universe branch should gather together first,” Chaos City Lord said.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

“Blood runs thicker than water.” Internally, the Human Race was divided into several smaller factions. Their Virtual Universe branch was naturally also a smaller faction. However, from the current perspective, this faction had extremely terrifying combat power. Chaos City Lord and Icepeak Lord were both among the most elite Cosmic Lords. Longxing Lord was not much weaker, and Darkness Lord was even mysterious and unfathomable, seemingly capable of rivaling Chaos City Lord.

Youhou Lord was of a younger generation, yet his combat power was also extremely strong.

Luo Feng, within this faction… his combat strength was probably on par with Youhou Lord. Of course, this was without considering the Star Tower.

…

Luo Feng sat there silently, waiting.

Soon, a figure approached from the distance. He was tall and thin, with a curved horn on each ear, resembling two sickles. He had a third eye on his forehead and wore a set of deep bluish-gray scale-like armor. Since this was the Virtual Universe, he did not carry his signature weapon, the Youhou Spear.

“Lord Youhou,” Luo Feng recognized him immediately and stood up at once.

“Youhou,” Lord Youhou was a fierce warrior, but upon seeing Luo Feng, he directly approached with a smile and shouted loudly.

“Youhou,” Luo Feng smiled.

“Senior Uncle,” Lord Youhou slightly bowed to Chaos City Lord as a sign of respect, though the bow was merely symbolic. After all, he was also a Cosmic Lord.

“Sit down,” Chaos City Lord said.

As Lord Youhou had just sat down, he laughed heartily, “Senior Uncle, now our Virtual Universe Company branch has one more Cosmic Lord than the Axe Fighting Arena. Haha, the way those Cosmic Lords from the Axe Fighting Arena looked at us during the meeting was quite amusing.”

“It was indeed amusing…” Another figure approached from afar. His massive, mountain-like body extended a dragon tail… It was obviously Lord Longxing.

“It’s been a long time since I felt so displeased with those Cosmic Lords from the Axe Fighting Arena,” Lord Longxing laughed as he approached and sat down, also nodding with a smile toward Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, you were quite impressive on the Origin Star, killing over 6,000 Cosmic Sovereigns with a single move. According to our estimates, each of the three alliances must have suffered losses equivalent to a peak Domain-type treasure.”

Luo Feng shook his head, “There was a calculation error. At that time, I should have fought and entangled with Banfu Lord a bit longer, allowing more Cosmic Sovereigns to enter my attack range.”

Lord Longxing and Lord Youhou were both slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.

A chilling coldness spread through the air with the laughter.

It was a silver-haired man with streaks of white, carrying a sword on his back, wearing ancient battle armor with bloodstains. Judging solely by appearance… among the six Cosmic Lords of the Virtual Universe Company, this Icepeak Lord should be the most handsome! And he also conformed to the overall aesthetic standards of the Human Race.

Icepeak Lord slightly nodded toward Chaos City Lord, then sat down directly. His gaze swept over Longxing Lord, Luo Feng, and Youhou Lord. When Longxing Lord, Luo Feng, and Youhou Lord met his gaze, they all slightly nodded.

“Truly cold,” Luo Feng muttered inwardly.

After a brief wait, another figure approached from afar. Before the figure was clearly visible, a sinister and dark aura had already spread out. From the endless currents of air, the figure became distinct. He simply wore a black outer garment, and beneath it was a strange armor combining silver and black.

He was bald, with skin as white as jade.

His head bore extremely eerie and complex black markings. When his eyes looked at someone… it was as if a venomous snake in the night were flicking its tongue near someone’s neck.

Even the surrounding space and time were affected by him, and the entire space-time fell into a strange atmosphere.

“Junior Brother,” Chaos City Lord spoke.

“Senior Brother,” Darkness Lord replied.

Luo Feng was suddenly startled. He suddenly noticed the enormous difference between his master, Chaos City Lord, and Darkness Lord. Chaos City Lord, sitting there, radiated endless peace, openness, and tranquility in that area. In contrast, the area around Darkness Lord was filled with endless darkness and eerie vibes, making one’s heart tremble.

The two had completely opposing auras.

And they were equally matched.

“No wonder he is capable of training someone like Lord Youhou,” Luo Feng thought inwardly.

Darkness Lord had already taken his seat and turned his gaze toward Luo Feng: “Senior Brother, this is your disciple, Luo Feng?”
