Chapter 1323: Waiting for the Net to be Cast

“Finally, the teacher has broken through!” Luo Feng was thrilled. Before he himself had passed on the ancient civilization to the human race, Master Hunchun had already seemed on the verge of a breakthrough. Later, with detailed guidance from the inheritance and under the pressure of the battle for the fate of the race, the human race had all hoped that Hunchun would break through before the ‘Great Battle’.

However, until the end of that great war, Hunchun had not managed to break through. Fortunately, Luo Feng had first advanced to a Cosmic Sovereign, using the ‘Endless Abyssal Sea’ to turn the tide of battle.

“Before the battle, we longed for a breakthrough, yet it remained unattainable.”

“Now that the battle is over, he suddenly breaks through.” Luo Feng, within the virtual universe, immediately headed to where his teacher was.

At the peak of the Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

This place was incredibly lively. As soon as Luo Feng arrived, before he could even clearly see who was in the distance, he heard various noisy voices—some deep, some shrill, some hoarse…

“Huh?” Luo Feng glanced over, surprised. “So many have come, even the alien races.”

“Lord of the Milky Way.”

“Come quickly, Lord of the Milky Way. Your teacher has broken through. As a disciple, you should show your respect and prepare a grand gift,” said an alien Cosmic Sovereign with dozens of tentacles upon seeing Luo Feng.

Immediately, many other aliens gathered around.

Achieving the rank of a Cosmic Sovereign was an extraordinary event!

In the current Primordial Universe, if a race could produce a Cosmic Sovereign, it meant that the race could become a ‘pinnacle race’! With the Ancestor sealed away and the Great Axe fallen, humanity currently had no Cosmic Sovereign to stand guard, which had left the entire Hong Alliance somewhat uneasy. Now that Hunchun had broken through, it gave all the Cosmic Sovereigns a sense of stability.

“Luofeng, Luofeng,” Hunchun, surrounded by the crowd, waved as soon as he saw Luo Feng.

“Teacher.” Luo Feng smiled and immediately went forward.

“Before the last great battle, I tried my hardest without the slightest relaxation, hoping to break through before the war. But I didn’t,” Hunchun shook his head and laughed. “I never expected that when I completely relaxed, I naturally broke through.”

Luo Feng said, “Teacher, this is the result of accumulating strength over time, so naturally you succeeded at once.”

Looking around at the lively scene, Luo Feng also understood. Considering the tense situation in the Primordial Universe, as soon as Hunchun broke through, he informed all the Cosmic Sovereigns of the Hong Alliance, and everyone celebrated together, which also enhanced the cohesion within the Hong Alliance.

This celebration lasted for most of the day, and then the alien races gradually departed, leaving only the human Cosmic Sovereigns.

“Luofeng, you secretly sent messages to each of us to stay behind. What’s going on?” asked the Icepeak Sovereign. Hunchun, Dark Sovereign, Longxing Sovereign, and others all turned to Luo Feng. Indeed, Luo Feng had secretly communicated with the human Cosmic Sovereigns during the gathering.

“Me and the Sovereign of Haolei, the battle is about to begin.” Luo Feng looked around.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Although the human side had confidence in Luo Feng, the opponent was still the Sovereign of Haolei.

“Luofeng, Haolei Sovereign is not easy to deal with. With the Great Axe fallen, we must seek revenge. But there’s no rush,” said Penggong Sovereign.

“I have a thirty percent chance of killing Haolei Sovereign in this battle,” Luo Feng said.

“Killing?”

Everyone, including Hunchun, was shocked and disbelieving.

To kill a Cosmic Sovereign?

Even other Cosmic Sovereigns would not dare to say that. Luo Feng was merely a Cosmic Sovereign… how dare he say such a thing? However, after witnessing Luo Feng’s previous plan and seeing his Endless Divine Power Ocean clone withstand the combined soul attacks from the allied forces and the Free Alliance, the human Cosmic Sovereigns were somewhat convinced of Luo Feng’s capability.

“Thirty percent chance?” Hunchun himself spoke up.

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “After all, he is a Cosmic Sovereign. To kill him, I definitely can’t do it alone. I must rely on the three most dangerous environments. So I can only say I have a thirty percent chance! If he underestimates me, there’s a good chance I can succeed.”

Wham!

The group of human Cosmic Sovereigns, including Xujin Sovereign, Youhou Sovereign, Qingdong Sovereign, and others, were both shocked and excited. Though they couldn’t believe it, they also thought of Luo Feng’s ‘Tomb Ship’ and the inheritance from the Dandonghe lineage, which might have granted him some special techniques. Perhaps it really could succeed.

“If we succeed, the ‘Haolei Divine Armor’ of the Sovereign of Haolei will belong to the human race,” Youhou Sovereign exclaimed.

The Haolei Divine Armor was an ultimate treasure armor owned by the Sovereign of Haolei.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng smiled. “I asked everyone to stay because if I truly succeed… once the Sovereign of Haolei falls, the powerful beings of the Lei Bao Star race residing in the Sovereign of Haolei’s ‘miniature universe’ will perish instantly, and that miniature universe will collapse and disintegrate. At that time, there will be an abundance of ultimate treasures…”

As Luo Feng spoke, everyone present understood.

From ordinary life to Cosmic Sovereigns, none could control their own fate. If they lived in the Primordial Universe, their life’s root was in the Primordial Universe… but for those from the First and Second Cycle Eras, their lives were entrusted to the miniature universe! Once the miniature universe collapses, all lives entrusted to it would die… of course, if the miniature universe becomes a ‘Holy Universe,’ then the immortals, Venerables, and Cosmic Sovereigns inside could exist eternally.

“A whole race perishing, countless treasures, yes, we need to pay attention.” Hunchun nodded, then looked at the Dark Sovereign. “Junior apprentice, you go personally. If Luo Feng really succeeds… and the miniature universe collapses, you sweep through it and bring back all the treasures.”

“Alright.” The Dark Sovereign nodded, then turned to Luo Feng. “Don’t make me run for nothing.”

“I will definitely do my best.” Luo Feng smiled.

In the Cosmic Sea, no one dared to claim they could kill a Cosmic Sovereign.

Luo Feng was also taking a gamble!

That very day, the Dark Sovereign quietly left the Primordial Universe. Through natural wormholes and long-distance teleportation in the vast Cosmic Sea, he exerted himself to the utmost, taking a full six days before finally arriving at the Sovereign of Haolei’s miniature universe.

“A miniature universe.”

Like a sesame-sized black pyramid floating in the chaos flow, the Dark Sovereign was gazing at the enormous miniature universe in the distance. “Luo Feng is really audacious, killing a Cosmic Sovereign… even with the help of the most dangerous environments, it’s still unbelievable.”

At the center of the Xuanze Sea on the Cosmic Boat, standing on a giant reef.

“It’s unbelievable.” Luo Feng was inside the Star Tower, looking down at the outside, listening to the discussions of the Cosmic Sovereigns on the reef below. “Usually, it’s only when Cosmic Sovereigns fight each other that one side perishes. For a Cosmic Lord to kill a Cosmic Sovereign… it’s never happened before.”

“But I, Luo Feng! In terms of strength, I can burst to ninth-grade combat power! Among Cosmic Sovereigns, I’m considered top-tier, only my speed hasn’t broken through the limit.”

“I have a real chance to create a miracle.” Luo Feng was filled with endless fighting spirit.

One-on-one.

He had a real chance of success. But if it was one against two or three… there would be no hope. That’s why he had only challenged the Sovereign of Haolei. If this time, Lianjia Wang and Qiuyan Ancestor God also came together, Luo Feng would definitely turn and run, and even curse Haolei for being a coward.

Time passed day by day.

“Boom! Boom!” The whirlpools of the Xuanze Sea became increasingly terrifying, and the gales in the sky grew stronger.

The wind on the reef was weaker, and the 15 Cosmic Sovereigns waited eagerly.

“He should arrive soon, the Sovereign of Haolei.”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s wait. The battle between the Sovereign of Haolei and the Lord of the Milky Way will be exciting.” Those Cosmic Sovereigns didn’t want to miss this battle.

As they conversed, a massive bolt of lightning suddenly emerged from the distant void above the darkened Xuanze Sea. In an instant, the lightning streaked across the sky and arrived above the reef in the blink of an eye, electrifying the previously relaxed group of Cosmic Sovereigns with excitement.

“Human brat! Hand over our race’s Leisuo Sovereign immediately!” a mighty voice roared from high above.

The massive lightning bolt in the sky had already formed into a lightning giant, towering and mighty, with a large lightning orb rotating on its chest, coldly looking down at the area below.

“Haolei!” a cold shout rang out.

From the side door of the Star Tower stepped out a silver-robed, silver-winged youth. With a wave of his left hand, the Star Tower rapidly shrank and landed in his palm. He looked up with a cold smile at the lightning giant standing unmoved in the gale above. “Haolei, now Leisuo Sovereign’s life and death are in my hands. You have a request of me, yet you dare to act so arrogantly.”

“Hmph.” The lightning giant above looked down and snorted coldly, then suppressed his anger. “Speak! What will it take for you to release Leisuo Sovereign?”

“It’s easy for me to hand over Leisuo Sovereign,” Luo Feng said. “Just kneel before me, bow and apologize, and I’ll spare Leisuo Sovereign.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of alien Cosmic Sovereigns watching the spectacle were all shocked.

Luo Feng had gone mad!

“Insolent!” The lightning giant above roared in anger. “To insult a Cosmic Sovereign, you deserve to die.”

“Insult? If I had enough strength, I would have killed and tortured you a thousand times over.” Luo Feng coldly looked up at the lightning giant in the sky.

The Sovereign of Haolei looked down from above.

He immediately understood…

The humans must truly know that the Great Axe’s death was related to the three of them! Because of this great hatred, Luo Feng was humiliating him like this.

“Then it seems you are unwilling to hand over Leisuo Sovereign,” the Sovereign of Haolei looked down.

“I never intended to hand him over!” Luo Feng said coldly.

“Leisuo…” The Sovereign of Haolei’s voice echoed from above. “I will avenge you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of Cosmic Sovereigns on the observation reef, who had already hidden inside their palace treasures, were all excited. They understood that the Sovereign of Haolei saying this clearly meant he no longer held any hope of rescuing ‘Leisuo Sovereign’ and was clearly about to begin the battle.

“Human brat, I will make you understand how foolish it is to provoke the strongest!” Suddenly, the lightning giant in the sky let out a furious roar. His gigantic right leg, spanning millions of kilometers, transformed into a massive lightning bolt, directly striking down at the reef below. The power was so immense that space shattered wherever it passed.
