In the center of the Xuanze Sea, the twelve Cosmic Lords on the giant reef rock were all trembling as they watched this scene. Although they knew about the feud between humans and the Purple Moon Sanctuary, seeing Luo Feng act so ruthlessly still made them fearful.
“Everyone,” Luo Feng swept his gaze across them with a smile, “those who have no feud with me need not worry. I won’t target you.” With that, he flew directly toward the Star Tower and entered through a side door.
The Cosmic Lords on the reef exchanged glances and silently began discussing among themselves, clearly growing anxious. After all, Luo Feng had previously captured the Master of Lightning Shuttle and now had taken the Master of Purple Pu—could this be a scheme by Luo Feng to capture them one by one?
“No.”
“Even if we resist, Luo Feng possesses a treasure capable of will-force attacks. None of us could escape. Back then, the Lord of the Milky Way came here specifically to capture the Master of Lightning Shuttle… and the Master of Purple Pu had only just arrived here recently, so Luo Feng captured him. We eleven Cosmic Lords have been here much earlier, yet he hasn’t attacked us.”
“That’s right.”
The Cosmic Lords whispered among themselves and soon realized that if Luo Feng had wanted to kill or capture them, he would have done so already. There was no need to delay. Besides, Luo Feng had his own race to consider and wouldn’t want to make enemies everywhere.
…
Inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng gazed down at the outside world with a faint smile and then directly called out, “Master of Purple Pu.” His voice echoed into one of the containment spaces within the Star Tower.
“Hmph.” In a dim and desolate space, the Master of Purple Pu sat cross-legged on barren soil.
“Rest assured, I won’t kill you easily,” Luo Feng’s voice reverberated in the barren space. “Actually, I never wanted to be your enemy, but your Purple Moon Sanctuary refuses to let humanity thrive… deliberately opposing us. That previous war was one thing, but after the war, you actually distributed your heritage to various factions within the Allied Camp… clearly attempting to use the Allied Camp to suppress humanity and slow our rise.”
The entire human race harbored deep resentment toward the Purple Moon Sanctuary.
If the Purple Moon Sanctuary hadn’t shared their heritage, then over time, humanity would have grown increasingly powerful. Eventually, humans would have naturally encroached upon the territories of other peak races. As their territory expanded, more and more human geniuses would have emerged, creating a virtuous cycle that accelerated humanity’s rise.
But now, the Allied Camp had also received the heritage. Although not as detailed as what humanity possessed, it was still sufficiently rich. This made expanding human territory extremely difficult. Without territorial expansion, the number of human Cosmic Lords and Cosmic Sovereigns would inevitably remain limited.
Without interference from the Purple Moon Sanctuary, humanity might have surpassed the combined strength of the two great sanctuaries before the end of this samsara era!
But with the Purple Moon Sanctuary interfering, by the end of this samsara era, humanity might not even reach half the strength of the Purple Moon Sanctuary!
How could humanity not be filled with hatred?
“The decree of the Ancestor has its own profound meaning,” finally spoke the Master of Purple Pu, sitting in the desolate space, lifting his head to gaze at the sky with a cold sneer. “You actually dare to threaten my Purple Moon Sanctuary? Dream on!”
“Then we shall see,” Luo Feng replied calmly.
…
On the same day, within the Purple Moon Sanctuary’s universe.
“Ancestor, as you instructed, I arrived at the reef in the Xuanze Sea… just as predicted, he targeted me.” The Master of Purple Pu knelt respectfully before a faintly glowing purple figure floating in the air—the Purple Moon Ancestor.
The Purple Moon Ancestor slowly asked, “He made his move?”
“He has only imprisoned my clone so far and hasn’t killed it yet,” the Master of Purple Pu continued. His admiration for the Purple Moon Ancestor grew even stronger. Since the Purple Moon Sanctuary and the human race were enemies, they had known about Luo Feng entering the Cosmic Ark. Based on Luo Feng’s movement patterns, they had deduced his likely direction of advance.
In the surrounding regions of that direction, all Purple Moon Sanctuary Cosmic Lords had hidden themselves and avoided any encounter with Luo Feng.
But when Luo Feng stopped at the Xuanze Sea to wait for the Master of Thundering Star, the Purple Moon Ancestor suddenly ordered the Master of Purple Pu—who was closest to the Xuanze Sea—to test Luo Feng. As expected, Luo Feng captured the Master of Purple Pu immediately.
“He really can’t hold his temper,” the Purple Moon Ancestor shook his head. “Now that he has inherited the legacy of the Eastern River Clan, becoming a True God will be easy for him. Once he becomes a True God and gains the techniques from the Eastern River Clan, he will surpass even the Original Ancestor!”
The kneeling Master of Purple Pu was greatly shocked.
What?
Stronger than the Original Ancestor of humanity?
The Purple Moon Ancestor’s speculation seemed reasonable. If Luo Feng followed the path of laws, given his current ability to create secret techniques at the Cosmic Sovereign level, and with the inheritance from the Eastern River Clan, spending some time within a cultivation space would indeed allow him to ascend to True God in a relatively short period.
Once he reached the level of True God, his power would skyrocket, making it natural for him to surpass the Original Ancestor.
Then, he would sweep away all Cosmic Sovereigns!
However… Luo Feng followed the path of divine power, and he pursued the most difficult path—over nine thousand times genetic enhancement—which would inevitably take far longer than the Purple Moon Ancestor predicted.
“Fighting me?” the Purple Moon Ancestor coldly said, “Issue the order—starting from now, all Cosmic Lords of our Purple Moon Sanctuary must avoid Luo Feng! If humanity truly resorts to ruthless measures, we shall retreat entirely into our sanctuary universe. Even if we remain hidden in the sanctuary for an entire samsara era, it is a trivial matter.”
The Master of Purple Pu knelt obediently.
“Also, publicly announce to all major forces in the Cosmic Sea: since Luo Feng dares to provoke our sanctuary, from this moment onward, any native Cosmic Lord of humanity entering the Cosmic Sea will be hunted down and killed by our Purple Moon Sanctuary.” The Purple Moon Ancestor declared coldly.
“Yes, sir.” The Master of Purple Pu obediently replied.
“Go.” The Purple Moon Ancestor commanded.
The Master of Purple Pu respectfully departed at once.
In the empty void, the Purple Moon Ancestor stood there, laughing coldly. “Luo Feng? When the human Cosmic Lords learn that because of your provocation, I issued the extermination order, they will surely be very displeased with you.”
“Dare to challenge me?”
“Eastern Emperor is no real threat at all.”
“You…”
“Are destined to be my true rival.” The Purple Moon Ancestor said coldly. “Let’s see who will have the last laugh.”
…
Within an independent plane in the virtual universe.
Luo Feng’s consciousness was always connected to the virtual universe. He had just been filled with excitement, but soon his expression turned grim.
The excitement came from a piece of intelligence.
The grim expression was due to another piece.
The first intelligence contained detailed information about a newly emerged Cosmic Lord.
The second intelligence was the message publicly released by the Purple Moon Sanctuary.
In the report on the new Cosmic Lord, Luo Feng noticed the newly emerged Cosmic Lord named Master Peixing, especially his black four-winged form, which immediately drew Luo Feng’s attention. These black wings could generate bindings of the five elemental laws—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—an unusual trait.
Like his own silver wings, which created the “Golden Kingdom,” this was also a rare and special case.
The “Six Pairs of Murderous Wings” had six pairs of wings in total, and Luo Feng had obtained three pairs so far, still missing the other three. These two pairs of black wings might be exactly what he needed.
As Luo Feng felt excited and hopeful, the second report darkened his mood.
The Purple Moon Sanctuary!
Right after Luo Feng captured the Master of Purple Pu, they immediately issued a public extermination order against human-native Cosmic Lords, vowing to kill every one who entered the Cosmic Sea.
“Come to me quickly, Luo Feng,” the voice of the Chaos City Lord rang in his ears.
…
At the peak of Thunder Island, in the back garden of the Chaos City Lord’s palace, thrones were scattered around without any hierarchy, and one by one figures appeared and sat down. Luo Feng also arrived and took a seat.
“Everyone,” the Chaos City Lord looked around at the gathered figures with a hearty laugh, “now that everyone is here, let’s talk about the latest news. The Purple Moon Sanctuary has issued an extermination order against our human-native race, vowing to kill every human-native Cosmic Lord who enters the Cosmic Sea. Honestly, I was quite puzzled—how dare the Purple Moon Sanctuary do this? They only have two Cosmic Sovereigns and a group of Cosmic Lords. Both of their Sovereigns have even lost their micro-cosmoses. In terms of numbers of Cosmic Lords, they can’t even match our Hong Alliance. And yet they dare to challenge us? Upon closer inspection, I realized… oh, it’s specifically targeting our human-native race, deliberately excluding the other allied races within the Hong Alliance.”
“What a joke.”
“The Hong Alliance is a unified alliance. If they want to challenge us, how can they exclude the rest of the alliance?!” the Chaos City Lord mocked, “It’s clear the Purple Moon Sanctuary is scared! They dare not confront our entire Hong Alliance, so they made this statement just to save face.”
Beside him, the Lord of Darkness also said gravely, “Exactly. Our human race isn’t afraid of them now. Wait a while longer, and we will have more Cosmic Sovereigns. At the very top, we will completely dominate.”
Luo Feng listened silently, deeply grateful.
His Master had summoned this gathering without allowing others to speak first, directly steering the conversation toward a united front against a common enemy.
Otherwise, if opinions were freely expressed, someone might have criticized Luo Feng for recklessly provoking enemies for humanity, causing internal divisions—an outcome that neither Chaos, Darkness, Luo Feng, nor their allies wanted.
“This matter is partly my fault for not consulting everyone beforehand,” Luo Feng said solemnly. “But I don’t regret it. The Purple Moon Sanctuary is just another faction. Their Ancestor cannot leave his micro-cosmos, and their Sovereigns don’t even have micro-cosmoses of their own. What do we have to fear? The Purple Moon Sanctuary has been secretly undermining us, so naturally, we humans cannot show them any leniency. Also, I’ve considered… due to the influence of the Purple Moon Sanctuary, the tension between the two factions within our Original Universe remains high.”
“Especially the Allied Camp, which now has the heritage and isn’t afraid of us at all,” Luo Feng said seriously. “If this stalemate continues long-term without territorial expansion, how can humanity rise?”
“So we must fight!”
Luo Feng continued, “A major war may not be possible, but friction and skirmishes between the two factions will likely be a long-term reality. Through these repeated clashes, our human Cosmic Nobles and Cosmic Lords will be tempered. In life-and-death battles, combined with ancient civilization heritages, our race will produce more and more powerful warriors. As our strength grows, especially with the emergence of a few more Cosmic Sovereigns, we can then eliminate those two Cosmic Sovereigns from the Purple Moon Sanctuary! If they hide within the Purple Moon Sanctuary, we’ll leave them be, but if they dare to come out—we will destroy them.”
“Once those two Cosmic Sovereigns are gone, the Purple Moon Sanctuary will no longer pose any threat to humanity,” Luo Feng declared confidently.
Humanity had its own heritage and guidance from him.
Even if other Cosmic Sovereigns weren’t as extraordinary as he was, reaching the ‘peak of the strongest’—the level of the Original Ancestor—was still highly possible.
“Exactly,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. “For a relatively long period, our focus will remain within the Original Universe. Even for cultivation through life-and-death trials, it will be within the Original Universe. The struggle between the two factions will be a long and protracted one.”
“So this extermination order poses no real threat. Now, let Luo Feng strike hard against the Purple Moon Sanctuary. In the future, when our race grows even stronger, we will become the third sanctuary—perhaps even surpassing both the Purple Moon Sanctuary and the Eastern Emperor Sanctuary!”
