Chapter 1411: The Birth of the Boundary Beast

The Lord of Betch nodded. “Now we know too little. First, we know that the Boundary Beasts excel in soul attacks. Second, they possess a force diametrically opposed to divine power. Lastly… although the Boundary Beasts kill each other, when we appear, they immediately unite against us. For example, the Flame God and the True Spirit of Illusions were simultaneously attacked by three Boundary Beasts together.”

Luo Feng and the others nodded.

They had originally thought the Boundary Beasts hated each other and fought constantly. Now it seemed clear—they were only hostile internally and would unite against external enemies.

“If that’s the case,” said the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds shaking his head, “it will be difficult to defeat them one by one.”

Luo Feng said, “Hong and Tong are both experts in illusions, and their wills have reached the Void level! Although many True Spirits in our Cosmic Sea have their wills elevated to the Void level due to trials in the Jin World, there are still many whose wills remain at the True Spirit level. Those with True Spirit-level wills will likely be at a disadvantage.”

In the Cosmic Sea, certain terms could not be spoken aloud.

Terms like Void-level True Spirit were strictly off-limits, and any information related to Void-level True Spirits or higher could neither be spoken nor transmitted mentally.

“It’s mainly because we know too little about the Boundary Beasts,” said the Nine-Headed Demon Lord anxiously.

“What techniques do they possess? How many of them are there? We know nothing,” added the True Spirit Juehe, nodding in agreement.

“Moreover, the end of this cycle of time may not be far off—perhaps only a few trillion eons remain,” said the True Lord of the Divine Eye anxiously. “According to the guidance of the Original Cosmic Will, we must deal with the Boundary Beasts before this cycle ends. Otherwise, it will be too late.”

The threat of the Boundary Beasts caused anxiety among all the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea.

Even Luo Feng and the Divine Eye Clan, who had previously had misunderstandings, were now on good terms. With a common enemy, minor conflicts could be easily resolved.

“I think we should go to the Boundary Beast Nest again,” said the True Lord of the Divine Eye solemnly.

“Yes, we should go again, and this time we must gather more information,” added the True Spirit Juehe anxiously. “We must understand clearly so that we can prepare. Only with preparation can we formulate a plan.”

For trillions of eons, the Cosmic Sea had mainly been absorbing the benefits of the ‘Ancient Civilization Inheritance.’

Such as cultivating ancient secret techniques!

Or acquiring mechanical stream treasures and studying how to control them!

In short, by now, the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea had nearly reached the peak of their abilities. The True Lord of the Divine Eye, the Lord of Bones, the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds, and others could no longer improve. Even if given another cycle of time, their strength gains would likely be negligible.

Since their strength could no longer grow, while the Boundary Beasts would grow stronger over time.

Then… it was time to fight!

“We should organize a team of True Spirits from our Cosmic Sea,” said the Lord of Chaos City, nodding. “We must go to the Boundary Beast Nest to gather more detailed information so we can make accurate attack plans. First, this team of True Spirits must be strong enough. Second, this mission is very dangerous, with the risk of death. We cannot afford to lose too many and shake the very foundation of our Cosmic Sea!”

All present nodded.

No one knew how great the threat was within the ‘Darkness Region.’ If the Eight Great Lords were to charge in and half of them were killed… even if they gathered detailed intelligence, what would be the point?

After all, the Eight Great Lords were the strongest pillars of the Cosmic Sea.

“I will lead,” Luo Feng spoke up. “One True Spirit from the First Cycle Era, another from the Second Cycle Era, and two more from our Original Cosmic Era. Together with me, we can form a small team of five.”

In other words, with Luo Feng, the Original Cosmic Era was actually sending three True Spirits.

This was quite normal.

In terms of the number of True Spirits, the Original Cosmic Era had far more than either the First Cycle Era or the Second Cycle Era—three times as many.

“Good.”

“Lord Milky Way has agreed to lead. This mission is sure to succeed.”

“If Lord Milky Way goes, he will surely uncover all the secrets.”

The True Spirit Juehe, the True Lord of the Divine Eye, the Lord of Bones, and others expressed their delight one after another. Luo Feng was the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea. If he couldn’t uncover the truth, who could?

Luo Feng simply nodded.

As a Cosmic Sovereign, he had several powerful clones. Even if one of them perished temporarily, he could quickly recover. After all, over the past trillions of eons, his will had already reached the Eternal True Spirit level. He had also achieved great success in cultivating the “Secret Art of the Divine Eye.” Combined with his massive divine body, he was already the strongest in the Cosmic Sea. How could he fear the Boundary Beast Nest?

“True Lord of the Divine Eye, True Spirit Juehe,” Luo Feng said, “you two should go back and discuss it. Each of your two Cycle Eras should select one True Spirit. Their wills must be strong enough.”

“Of course.”

“No problem. I’m sure many True Spirits would be willing to go with Lord Milky Way,” both the True Lord of the Divine Eye and the True Spirit Juehe nodded in agreement.

In fact, over the past trillions of eons, as Luo Feng’s strength grew, especially after cultivating the “Secret Art of the Divine Eye,” his gaze alone could instill fear in other True Spirits. Naturally, everyone held him in the highest respect. They also knew that once Luo Feng became a True Spirit, his strength would be unimaginably greater.

…

After this meeting had reached a preliminary plan to deal with the Boundary Beasts, the eight great lords quickly dispersed.

Luo Feng, the Lord of Chaos City, and the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds flew together toward the Original Cosmic Era.

“Nine Netherworlds,” Luo Feng said, “this time, our Original Cosmic Era must contribute two additional True Spirits. Your Ancestral God Sect and the Star-Beast Alliance each need to provide one. Is that acceptable?”

“No problem,” the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds nodded.

In terms of the number of True Spirits,

Both the Ancestral God Sect and the Star-Beast Alliance had many.

“But Milky Way,” the True Lord of Nine Netherworlds warned, “you must be cautious this time. After all, it’s the Boundary Beast Nest. It’s a place that even the Original Cosmic Will had to employ so many measures against.”

“Yes,” the Lord of Chaos City also said solemnly. “Don’t underestimate the Boundary Beasts. Don’t forget what happened to the Grand Axe.”

Luo Feng nodded. “I know. This time I’m sending my Mosha Clan clone. Naturally, there’s no risk.”

The Lord of Chaos City nodded in relief.

The Mosha Clan clone was an energy-based lifeform, without a soul, making it immune to soul attacks. Moreover, Luo Feng had now reached the second level in the genetic hierarchy of energy-based lifeforms. His Mosha Clan clone was also hundreds of millions of kilometers tall. With such a massive divine body, it surpassed Hong and the Flame God by an immeasurable degree. Naturally, he had nothing to fear.

“This time…” Luo Feng thought to himself, “once the candidates from the three cycles are selected, I’ll have to go see my teacher again.”

Luo Feng also knew that some of these True Spirits belonged to different races. Getting them to willingly go might take some time.

…

When the Cosmic Sea planned to head toward the Boundary Beast Nest, far away in the core region of the Tilted Peak Realm, within the Darkness Region,

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~”

At the edge of the endless Darkness Region, surging waves of black mist flowed. Long ago, the Darkness Region had not been filled with so much black mist. However, as time passed, the aura emanating from the Darkness Region had grown increasingly terrifying and intense.

“Boom!”

A streak of dark light instantly shot out from the edge of the Darkness Region, then slowed down and hovered in place.

It was a massive monster radiating a pitch-black glow all over its body. It had two hideous heads, each with a single eye, a nose, and a mouth. It had a pair of arms and legs… completely naked, exuding a terrifying aura of evil. Its front and back single eyes scanned the surroundings.

Meanwhile, black blood flowed from dozens of wounds across its pitch-black skin.

The front head suddenly opened its mouth, and its tongue shot out like a streak of light, sweeping across its entire body, quickly licking each wound. The blood flowing from the wounds was completely absorbed, and the wounds rapidly healed and closed.

“Bedi…”

The dark, hideous monster growled.

“I am the last king! I am!” the hideous monster roared in defiance. “You only gained an advantage, so you are stronger than me now. You want to kill me, to eat me… wait and see, it won’t be that easy.”

“Last time, two delicious meals reached the nest.”

“Pity those three useless ones couldn’t handle it. Those two delicious meals managed to escape,” the hideous monster muttered. “Bedi, I couldn’t defeat you in the nest… but to grow stronger, besides devouring other of my kind, I can also devour those delicious meals. I can go to their worlds and keep eating. I will grow stronger and stronger. When I return, I will definitely be stronger than you.”

“When that time comes, I will eat you, then eat all the others. I will be the last king.”

Whoosh!

Then it transformed into a streak of light, rapidly flying toward the endless waves in the distance.

In the endless waves floated a large ship. As the dark light approached, two towering figures flew out from the ship.

“Respected King,” said King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God of Qiuyan respectfully.

The hideous monster halted its steps and gazed down at the two True Spirits. After scrutinizing them intently for a moment, it suddenly underwent a transformation. From its previous monstrous form, it morphed into a towering humanoid figure with a massive tail, evidently mimicking certain traits of King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God Qiuyan.

The transformed being also exuded a divine aura.

“Does this look like one of your kind?” the Boundary Beast rumbled.

“Yes.”

King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God of Qiuyan answered in unison.

Whenever they saw a Boundary Beast, no matter which one, they always addressed it as ‘King.’ After all, these Boundary Beasts were all mad, each one refusing to acknowledge the other.

“I need to know detailed information about your Cosmic Sea, about all the powerful beings in your Cosmic Sea,” the Boundary Beast rumbled. “You two will tell me.”

King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God of Qiuyan exchanged glances.

Was this Boundary Beast planning to go to the Cosmic Sea?

They immediately felt excited. These years had been too stifling. With the death of the Lord of Thunder Stars, Luo Feng’s enemies were now only the two of them left! And with Luo Feng’s reputation… they dared not go to the Jin World. Without going to the Jin World, they couldn’t access the Ancient Civilization inheritance or obtain mechanical stream treasures.

So they had remained here all along.
