Standing above the volcano, Luo Feng suddenly vanished into thin air and then appeared successively across various regions of the Jiue’ dark continent. Wherever there were immortal deities, Luo Feng would appear within a million kilometers of them.
“It hasn’t turned red.” “It hasn’t turned red.” “It turned red!” “It hasn’t turned red.”…
After teleporting hundreds of times in an extremely short period to detect these hundreds of immortal deities, Luo Feng found that among them, a total of twelve could cause the golden toad’s eyes to turn red. Being cautious, Luo Feng immediately bound and sealed the space around those twelve immortal deities, rendering them completely immobile.
“Now, let’s go meet the Ju Lian Primordial God,” Luo Feng strode through the air, taking a single step that transported him directly above the majestic temple located amidst encircling volcanoes.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned. “There are actually two targets inside this temple?” He could sense the two targets clearly through the golden toad.
…
Inside the temple, in a quiet hall, Ju Lian Primordial God stood holding a scepter, unable to break free from the invisible golden restraints.
Suddenly, everything fell silent.
A man with deep azure wings slowly descended from the sky and landed in the highest hall of the temple. The guards within the entire temple seemed to see nothing. Ju Lian Primordial God looked at the man before him with some fear and quickly said, “I don’t know what business the honorable sir has here in the Yuan’ao Secret Realm. I can report to the Yuan’ao Sovereign for you.”
“Why not call him the Supreme Sovereign of Yuan’ao?” Luo Feng smiled lightly, quickly determining that it was Ju Lian Primordial God himself who had triggered the golden toad’s eyes to turn red, not any strange artifact.
“You, sir, possess such mighty power. You must be a Cosmic Sovereign from another force in the universe,” Ju Lian Primordial God said respectfully.
Luo Feng did not deny it.
“Please feel free to give me any orders, Primordial God Ju Lian will certainly do my utmost,” Ju Lian Primordial God said with utmost respect.
“I have a question for you,” Luo Feng said.
“Please speak, honorable sir,” Ju Lian replied, but as soon as the words left his mouth, his eyes dimmed, already entering an illusionary realm.
Luo Feng frowned as he looked at Ju Lian Primordial God before him. “Judging by this, he’s probably only a lowly Venerable. I can only make him fall into an illusion, but I cannot search his memories.” Searching memories requires both skill and a significant power gap. Ju Lian Primordial God was also a Cosmic Venerable, albeit a weak one, but he specialized in soul techniques. Luo Feng could make him fall into an illusion but could not search his memories.
Luo Feng stood there silently, waiting for a moment.
“Finally, he couldn’t resist anymore.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. Ju Lian Venerable had finally succumbed to the illusion. Of course, this only meant Luo Feng could ask him questions; he still couldn’t search his memories.
“I ask you, what special secrets do you have?” Luo Feng questioned.
“I once ambushed and killed ‘Siduo God’…” Ju Lian Venerable mechanically began to speak while holding the scepter.
Luo Feng listened with a frown.
This didn’t seem right.
Nothing he said appeared to pose any threat to the Original Universe. The Original Universe nurtures countless life forms… Even the invincible being, the human ‘Originator,’ was directly suppressed by the cosmic source. For something to be deemed a danger to the Original Universe and prompt the Ancestral God to personally dispatch Luo Feng—it certainly couldn’t be something as insignificant as this.
“Have you ever left the Yuan’ao Secret Realm?”
“Has the Sovereign of Yuan’ao ever assigned you any important tasks?”
“Have you ever obtained any rare treasures or had any extraordinary encounters?”
“Compared to other Venerables, what makes you special?” Luo Feng continued to question Ju Lian Primordial God. Under the illusion, Ju Lian answered every question truthfully, but the more Luo Feng listened, the more confused he became. Suddenly, an idea struck him…
Swish!
A figure wrapped in golden light flew directly over. This was the other target that had triggered the golden toad’s eyes to turn red within the entire temple—a immortal deity. This tall and muscular figure, entirely dark in color, stood there with lifeless eyes, already silently controlled by Luo Feng.
“Search his memories.” Luo Feng couldn’t search Ju Lian’s memories but could search this immortal deity’s.
Moments later—
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked at the dark, muscular immortal deity before him and at Ju Lian Primordial God. “So coincidental? This immortal deity and the previously killed Bowa God were both soul servants of Ju Lian Primordial God?”
By cross-referencing the memories of both, Luo Feng discovered this commonality.
With a thought—
In some distant parts of the Jiue’ dark continent, the twelve other immortal deities that could also cause the golden toad’s eyes to turn red were suddenly released from their spatial restraints by Luo Feng’s will. Then, with a mere thought, he transported them directly into the majestic temple.
Instantly, the hall was filled with a total of fifteen figures: Luo Feng, Ju Lian Primordial God, and thirteen immortal deities.
“They are all targets.”
“Search!”
Luo Feng immediately began tirelessly searching each of their memories, going through the thirteen immortal deities except for Ju Lian Primordial God… and carefully cross-referencing them.
“There’s nothing unusual about them; they are all normal immortals! And all of them have risen step by step from the Jiue’ dark continent,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “The only commonality… is that all thirteen of them are soul servants of Ju Lian Primordial God.”
“Ju Lian,” Luo Feng looked at Ju Lian. “How many soul servants do you have?”
“A total of twenty. Four have perished. Sixteen remain,” Ju Lian Primordial God replied directly.
Luo Feng glanced at the thirteen immortal deities standing there in a daze. “All of them are immortals?”
“There are also three Half-Gods,” Ju Lian Primordial God replied.
“Under which immortal deity? Which empire?” Luo Feng asked.
…
Since he had already searched the memories of the thirteen immortal deities, Luo Feng was naturally very familiar with the geography of the entire Jiue’ dark continent. Based on Ju Lian Primordial God’s words… Luo Feng quickly located the three Domain Lord soul servants of Ju Lian Primordial God! However, upon checking them, Luo Feng was very surprised because none of these three Domain Lords could cause the golden toad’s eyes to turn red, clearly not the targets.
“Although these three Domain Lords are not the targets.”
“But among Ju Lian Primordial God’s soul servants, all of his immortal servants are targets, and he himself is also a target,” Luo Feng pondered. “And Ju Lian Primordial God himself seems fine. Could it be that…”
“Ju Lian, is the Sovereign of Yuan’ao your master?” Luo Feng pressed further.
“Yes,” Ju Lian Primordial God mechanically replied.
Luo Feng then smiled. “It really is him…” Immediately following, Luo Feng continued to press, “Do you know if the Sovereign of Yuan’ao has any other soul servants?”
“Yes, I know of two more,” Ju Lian Primordial God replied mechanically.
“Tell me their names, where are they?” Luo Feng said.
…
Moments later.
A total of fourteen targets, including Ju Lian Primordial God, were directly annihilated and dissipated. Luo Feng then withdrew his golden kingdom and immediately teleported away from the Jiue’ dark continent… heading toward another, even vaster continent—Mogao Continent—among the twelve vast continents.
…
Within the spatial layer corresponding to the Yuan’ao Secret Realm’s cosmic space, deep within the endless spatial fragments… there lay a magnificent divine kingdom that could be described as boundless.
The divine kingdom stretched vast and endless.
Suspended in the sky above this divine kingdom was a massive continent. This floating continent was bound by countless black chains, each hundreds of millions of kilometers long, directly connecting it to the bottom of the endless ocean below. The entire floating continent… seemed to be tethered by these hundreds of massive black chains so that it wouldn’t drift away.
At the center of the floating continent was a vast lake filled with scorching black liquid. Even a Cosmic Venerable would be instantly incinerated and annihilated upon entering it.
A towering figure lay within.
This towering figure resembled a mountain carved into a giant, lying within the endless lake of scorching black liquid.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the giant sat up. His head resembled a square, with only one enormous eye and a mouth. His divine body was covered with a gray armor that flowed like mercury. When he sat up… it was as if a towering mountain had risen from the lake of black liquid, with black liquid continuously flowing off him and returning to the lake.
He was none other than Yuan’ao Sovereign, renowned throughout the cosmos!
“A vague golden domain that could prevent Ju Lian from resisting?”
“Resembling the appearance of the Kagui race? Possessing unmatched combat power? Oh, he fell into an illusion?” Yuan’ao Sovereign muttered in a deep voice. Ju Lian Primordial God was his soul servant, so they could communicate through long-distance soul connection. Even the moment Ju Lian fell into the illusion was immediately reported to Yuan’ao Sovereign.
Unfortunately, soon after, he was completely overwhelmed and could no longer transmit any message.
“So strong a force, a top-tier cosmic overlord? No, it must be a Cosmic Sovereign.” Yuan’ao Sovereign silently waited.
Only moments later—
Yuan’ao Sovereign sensed that his servant, Ju Lian Primordial God, had perished.
“He is indeed dead,” the Sovereign of Yuan’ao intoned solemnly, his eyes ablaze with an uncanny radiance. “Everything is proceeding as planned. Once the scheme is set in motion… the Primordial Deity Sect, which proclaims itself the guardian of the Original Cosmic Source, will undoubtedly respond. And the reaction came swiftly. The Primordial Deity Sect must have dispatched a Cosmic Sovereign.”
“Come on.”
“With such a tremendous sacrifice, what’s the point if only the Ancestral God Church makes an appearance? Now that their powerhouse has arrived… it’s time to move to the next phase. The Demon Race… the Star-Beast Alliance… the Northern Border Alliance… each of them must come forth, one by one.”
…
Luo Feng was completely unaware of all this.
“It’s strange. When I killed Bowa God, it was understandable that Yuan’ao Sovereign didn’t know. But now I’ve killed his soul servant, Ju Lian Primordial God. Yuan’ao Sovereign should have known immediately,” Luo Feng stood above the endless expanse of Mogao Continent, frowning slightly. “Yet Yuan’ao Sovereign hasn’t made a single move.”
Although Yuan’ao Sovereign was powerful, Luo Feng was not afraid.
But Yuan’ao Sovereign not appearing… made Luo Feng feel something was off. If anyone were to go around killing powerful figures in human territory, the Cosmic Sovereigns of humanity would have already shown up. Moreover, according to the information he previously investigated, both Ju Lian Primordial God himself and his immortal soul servants were confirmed as targets. Thus… since Yuan’ao Sovereign was the master of “Ju Lian Primordial God,” the source was likely with Yuan’ao Sovereign himself!
“We’ll see. I want to see exactly what kind of thing could threaten the Original Universe.” Luo Feng then willed it so.
“Boom~~~”
Endless vague golden light, carrying the might of the Galaxy Lord, directly descended upon Mogao Continent, which had a maximum diameter of 5.1 light-years. At this moment… not a single powerful being on Mogao Continent could escape Luo Feng’s control.
