Chapter 1164: The Divine Eye Clan

The Master of Anyong stood in the shallow waters; the one-eyed phantom within the halo behind his head was extremely sinister.

“Silver-winged, black-haired human!”

“Since he came to rescue Flint Sovereign and was together with Lang’an Sovereign… it seems he should also be from the Original Universe.” The Master of Anyong pondered. Humanity had emerged in all three cosmic eras, ranking among the top races in the first and third cosmic eras.

Only in the second cosmic era were humans relatively weak, producing just one Cosmic Overlord.

Perhaps in the Original Universe, a race with one Cosmic Overlord could be considered top-tier.

However, the first and second cosmic eras, which had completed full cycles, had many more Cosmic Overlords. Therefore, the human race of the second cosmic era was comparable in strength to Luo Feng’s Original Universe humans but was not considered a top-tier race in the second cosmic era.

“I haven’t seen him before.”

“Even within our Divine Eye Clan’s database, there is no record of such a formidable individual,” thought the Master of Anyong. “This must be a newly risen expert. Moreover, he wielded Sovereign Yuan’ao’s Flame Sand Cup. The last time Sovereign Yuan’ao appeared, he was still using the Flame Sand Cup, which clearly indicates he hasn’t possessed it for long.”

“Could Sovereign Yuan’ao be dead?”

“Otherwise, how could the Flame Sand Cup fall into the hands of this human?” The Master of Anyong was filled with doubts.

…

In the First Cosmic Era, the Divine Eye Clan had seven Cosmic Overlords and, consequently, seven small universes as well.

Within one of these small universes:

“Seventh Monarch.”

The avatar of the Master of Anyong walked out of the beautiful, semi-transparent palace that radiated white light, looking up at the sky. “Has the human race of the Original Universe given birth to a new Cosmic Sovereign? I was just about to kill Flint Sovereign, but I was blocked by a silver-winged, black-haired man. I want to know his information.”

“Blocked? Is he stronger than you?” a voice came from the sky.

“No, naturally he is far inferior to me,” the avatar of the Master of Anyong looked up. “However, he possesses the Flame Sand Cup and a special treasure capable of controlling space-time, which suppressed my Ice Sand Sea. At that time, there were three of them: him, Lang’an Sovereign, and Flint Sovereign. I was alone against three. Even if I persisted, it would be hard to determine a winner, so I didn’t pursue further.”

Earlier, the Master of Anyong had teleported over and discovered Luo Feng and the others.

If he had been confident…

The Lord of Anyang would have instantly employed spatial confinement and confronted them once more.

But he clearly knew that one, the opponent had the advantage in the domain and could escape if they wanted to. Two, there were three of them. So he just let Luo Feng and the others leave.

“Wait a moment, I will contact someone to investigate,” a voice came from the sky.

“Thank you, Seventh Monarch,” the avatar of the Master of Anyong respectfully and gratefully bowed.

Moments later—

In fact, nearly a hundred factions in the cosmic sea were either fighting or secretly making deals. For example, exchanging treasures or swapping intelligence. As long as there were benefits, all kinds of transactions would naturally exist.

During the First Cosmic Era, the Divine Eye Clan, as a formidable power, had numerous factions attempting to win their favor.

“We’ve already found out,” a voice sounded from the sky.

The avatar of the Master of Anyong immediately looked up.

“Silver-winged and black-haired, you haven’t seen him before. Then he should be the newly emerged Cosmic Sovereign of the Original Universe humans—the Lord of the Milky Way, Luo Feng,” the voice from the sky said. “His strength is average; in terms of material attacks, he is only comparable to Sovereign Banfu. His only strongest secret art is similar to a miniature chaotic world.”

“Oh… a new youngling?” the avatar of the Master of Anyong laughed. “Banfu Sovereign is skilled in soul attacks, but his material attacks are very weak. It seems this youngling is quite weak.”

“He should be in the second tier according to the six-tier ranking of Cosmic Sovereigns,” the voice from the sky continued.

“It seems his treasure is special; the human race must have given him a precious treasure to protect himself and escape danger,” the Master of Anyong laughed. A youngling who was only slightly better at escaping wasn’t worth fearing. “Just second tier…”

In the First Cosmic Era, the strength of Cosmic Sovereigns was divided into six tiers.

The first tier consisted of newly emerged Cosmic Sovereigns, with a life gene level of 100 times, no ultimate secret arts created, and ordinary treasures.

The second tier had a life gene level of 1000 times, created ultimate secret arts, and had decent treasures, considered “average level.”

The third tier was “peak level,” such as Sovereign Yandi and Flint Sovereign.

The fourth tier was “top level,” such as Icepeak Sovereign, Anyong Master, or the Star River Sovereign without using his ultimate moves.

The fifth tier was the pinnacle of the top—Star River Sovereign, Chaos City Lord, and others. Usually, they either created fused ultimate secret arts or obtained rare items.

The sixth tier didn’t exist in the Original Universe. This sixth tier referred to a Cosmic Sovereign with supreme treasures that could defy the odds.

“Just a second-tier youngling,” the Master of Anyong sneered.

The Master of Anyong’s strength was considered fourth tier.

But he had a plant-life clone divine body, with a life genetic level nearly ten thousand times, and his armor could reduce attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original strength. Even Luo Feng would probably have to become a Cosmic Sovereign to match him. If it came down to a mutual injury exchange, even Icepeak Sovereign and others would have to dodge cautiously.

“Hmph.”

“Top-tier domain-type treasures are far too rare. Our Divine Eye Clan has nearly a hundred Cosmic Sovereigns, and the most powerful domain-type treasures have already been claimed by the strongest among them. If I could obtain one, the human Milky Way Lord would be finished,” the Master of Anyong thought to himself in silent anticipation.

The Divine Eye Clan was indeed the strongest among the top races of the First Cosmic Era!

Seven Cosmic Overlords! Nearly a hundred Cosmic Sovereigns!

Each lived an extremely long life…

Among the nearly hundred Cosmic Sovereigns of the Divine Eye Clan, the Master of Anyong could only be regarded as “average.”

“Just wait, human Milky Way Lord.”

“This is our first meeting.”

“In the future, we will have plenty of opportunities to clash.”

…

In the outer domain of the Tilted Peak Realm, atop a celestial mountain rock, three towering figures stood.

“Flint Sovereign, there’s no need…” Luo Feng said quickly.

“It was you who saved my life, and this favor is the greatest,” Flint Sovereign raised his head. “My previous promise was only to repay the debt, so you don’t need to be humble. In the future, whatever you command… just notify me, no matter what I’m doing, I will come immediately, even if it costs me my life, I won’t retreat even slightly.”

Luo Feng smiled helplessly.

That was just Flint Sovereign’s nature.

Stubborn!

Extremely stubborn!

He would scold you if he wanted to… regardless of your future achievements. Once he made a promise, he would go through fire and water without looking back.

“Flint Sovereign, couldn’t you handle the danger this time?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask. He was puzzled; someone who had survived so long in the cosmic sea should have some life-saving techniques.

“Even if I encountered a Cosmic Overlord, as long as he didn’t use a supreme treasure to attack me… I could withstand it for a long time. First, I could block with my treasure weapon using ultimate techniques, which usually can weaken over 90% of the power, then the remaining impact on my divine body armor would be minimal,” Flint Sovereign sighed. “But the problem is, An Yong’s fighting style exactly counters me… he changes tactics unpredictably, while I charge forward recklessly, not good at blocking, and he even dared to trade blows with me!”

“Actually, my divine body is also very strong, ten thousand kilometers in size, I usually don’t fear trading blows. But An Yong is even more ruthless in trading blows than me.”

“Those who master several ultimate techniques and can change tactics instantly are already rare. Those who can make me unable to block are even fewer. And those who can trade blows better than me are even rarer,” Flint Sovereign said. “In the entire cosmic sea, there are only a few, and usually, once I spot them from afar, I run away immediately. I didn’t expect to suffer a loss this time.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Yes.

Those who mastered multiple ultimate techniques, were skilled in changing tactics, and attacked swiftly were indeed very rare. Those whose divine body defense was stronger than Flint Sovereign’s were even rarer.

“This loss has made me decide,” Flint Sovereign said. “My divine body suffered great damage this time and will take a long time to recover. During this recovery period… I will focus on studying shield defense techniques. I am a ‘Flint Special Lifeform,’ naturally not very agile. I should create a shield combat technique, one hand holding a shield and the other a long spear, which would be much safer.”

“You should have done this long ago,” Lang’an Sovereign said.

“Hmm,” Luo Feng also nodded.

Different lives have different fighting styles.

Sovereign Yuan’ao was like this too. His body was huge and not very agile, so he also used a shield.

Of course—

Humans, naturally very agile, Luo Feng using a battle blade could easily block quickly. Those huge rock lives were much worse in this aspect.

“I was too confident, Luo Feng. I will never forget your great favor. If you need anything, just give me a call,” Flint Sovereign’s voice thundered. “Then I will return to the Original Universe first. Next time I come, I will bring a shield with me.”

“Safe travels,” Luo Feng smiled.

Flint Sovereign also said goodbye to Lang’an Sovereign and then teleported away.

“My armor defense, although ten times stronger than Flint Sovereign’s, his divine power is dozens of times stronger than mine… combining both, his defense is indeed stronger than mine. In terms of divine body, he is also slightly larger than me,” Luo Feng mused. Fortunately, he was more agile, so even if he encountered An Yong, he could block effectively.

Furthermore, with the Wings of Slaying Wu and the Flame Sand Cup…

He could choose to fight or flee as needed.

“I need to hone myself.”

“My current weakness is… my attack secret techniques are only ultimate techniques,” Luo Feng thought silently. “Like Flint Sovereign, Lang’an Sovereign, and other peak-level experts, they have already created the strongest secret techniques. An Yong Sovereign has even created multiple strongest secret techniques.”

…

After that, Luo Feng and the Lang’an Sovereign went their separate ways and continued to explore the outer reaches of the Tilted Peak Realm.

Time passed…

During his exploration of the Qinfeng Realm, Luo Feng occasionally encountered some alien experts from before the Great Annihilation. However, with the assistance of the Slaughtering Wu Wings and the Flame Sand Cup, he never truly faced any real danger. After all, the most elite Cosmic Sovereigns and Cosmic Overlords had already ventured into the inner domain of the Qinfeng Realm.

One year, two years, three years…

Luo Feng, the human from the Original Universe, gradually became known among the experts of the other two cosmic eras. They also learned that although Luo Feng’s own strength might be average, he was indeed a tough opponent.
