Chapter 1413: The Delicacy of the Boundary Beast

“The primordial universe is incomparable to either small universes or the Jin World,” said Zuoshank ke looked at Luo Feng. “Each of its cycles contains ultimate mysteries. Even I, if I desired to enter the Origin, the primordial universe would not allow me to see it. It would rather release Yuanzu than easily grant you such a great opportunity.”

“But…”

“Faced with the threat of boundary beasts and granting you a tremendous opportunity, I believe it will ultimately make the best choice,” Zuoshank smiled at Luo Feng. “Actually, I’m quite envious of you, but unfortunately, envy is of no use.”

Luo Feng felt puzzled internally. Zuoshank’s words always carried deep meanings. His current achievements, such as the inheritance of the Qiandonghe lineage and the title mission in the Jin World, were likely unexpected to Zuoshank, giving him formidable strength.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng suddenly said solemnly.

“Hmm?” Zuoshank looked at Luo Feng.

“You created the Flame God Clan and my Earth lineage,” Luo Feng said abruptly. “I’ve always been curious about the reason. I deeply appreciate your kindness to me, and whatever you command, I will certainly do my utmost.”

Zuoshank gazed at Luo Feng profoundly before bursting into laughter.

“Luo Feng, look around you,” Zuoshank pointed outward.

Luo Feng surveyed the surroundings. Around the broken ship were scorching flames avoided by the coldness; these flames were vibrating, with an invisible pressure constantly looming over the area—the pressure of the will of the primordial universe’s essence. Clearly, the essence’s will had already descended… it was angry because of some words Zuoshank had spoken, yet it was powerless to do anything.

“Under the coverage of the essence’s will, there are some things I can say. Yet there are other things I wish to say but cannot,” Zuoshank looked at Luo Feng. “Just like in the Cosmic Sea, certain inheritance messages regarding ‘transcending True God’ cannot be spoken.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I currently cannot reveal it to you,” Zuoshank said softly. “This involves the ancient civilization and the greatest secret of the entire Cosmic Sea. I can only tell you when the right time comes.”

“What is the right time?” Luo Feng asked.

“I am very satisfied with your strength, but now is not the right time,” Zuoshank shook his head. “Don’t ask further. Even if you ask, I still cannot say.”

Luo Feng fell into thought.

Involving the ancient civilization?

Involving the greatest secret of the Cosmic Sea? Yes, he had long suspected a connection between Zuoshank and the Jin Kingdom…

“Then I will await your instructions whenever the time comes, Teacher,” Luo Feng said.

“Remember this,” Zuoshank said, “Don’t underestimate the boundary beasts. It was wise of you to use your Mosha Clan clone to head to their nests… your strength has not yet reached its peak. Other True Gods have already hit their limits and find it difficult to break through. However, once you become a True God, you will enter another phase of strength growth.”

“So, don’t bet everything you have now.”

“When you become a True God, that will be your strongest moment,” Zuoshank reminded.

Luo Feng was secretly shocked. From his teacher’s words, it seemed he was not yet strong enough to eliminate that group of boundary beasts.

“Go now.”

“Remember, be cautious.”

“This is the most perilous war within the Cosmic Sea,” Zuoshank instructed.

“Yes.”

Luo Feng stood up, slightly bowed, and then left.

…

A short while later, within the Zuoshen Secret Realm, inside the Zuoshen Palace.

Clad in white robes, Luo Feng walked in. The guards at the palace entrance did not stop him; naturally, they recognized Luo Feng. The three Zuoshen had already instructed that the ‘Galactic Lord’ could enter anytime.

“Greetings to the three.”

Luo Feng entered the grand hall, sweeping his gaze across. The three thrones atop the hall were occupied by the three Zuoshen.

After countless eons, the three Zuoshen of the Zuoshen Sect had already become True Gods! After all, the three of them had been chosen to be Zuoshen because of their high innate talent and the favor of the essence’s will… Now, with numerous True Gods being born across all races within the primordial universe, if the three Zuoshen were not True Gods, that would be a joke.

“My request, I believe, has already been known to the essence’s will,” Luo Feng began.

The Dual-Faced Zuoshen sighed, “You insist on making that request? Although we do not know the details of your request, clearly, the essence’s will is already somewhat displeased. Still, you insist?”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.

Displeased?

What did the essence’s will’s displeasure have to do with him? The essence’s will had suppressed Yuanzu, and all of humanity was displeased! Just as Zuoshank had said… there was no need to fear the essence’s will, as everything it did must follow the rules, even when facing the boundary beasts, it had to rely on Luo Feng and others to handle them.

In fact, entering the essence of the primordial universe, it would be as if he himself became the primordial universe, then the primordial universe would be destroyed and reborn…

It sounded mysterious, but Luo Feng was not so naive as to believe everything Zuoshank said. After all, to enter the essence realm with one’s will… at the very least, one would need to send a ‘divine power clone’ into the essence realm. Once the primordial universe is destroyed, to kill Luo Feng, it could easily attack the divine power clone and destroy Luo Feng’s soul!

So this request was actually dangerous.

The reason Luo Feng agreed was because of the third ultimate skill of the Qiandonghe lineage, the ‘Undying River’. Once he became a True God, he would definitely master the ‘Undying River’, leaving his blood and other means as contingencies. Even if he were attacked by the ‘primordial universe’s hidden hand’, he could revive again. Of course, this was only in the worst-case scenario. The essence’s will must follow the laws, and since he had not provoked it, it probably wouldn’t kill him.

Of course… to experience the destruction and rebirth of the primordial universe, one must wait until the end of a cycle era, when the primordial universe would be destroyed and reborn again.

It would definitely not be destroyed prematurely just because of Luo Feng.

Moreover, Luo Feng himself had not yet become a True God and would not wish for the destruction of the primordial universe.

“Since you insist,” the Elder Zuoshen looked down at Luo Feng in the hall, “Although the request is very demanding, as long as Lord Galactic truly kills all the boundary beasts and prevents the primordial universe from being harmed, the essence’s will agrees not only to release Yuanzu but also to grant your request. Of course, that request must wait until the end of this cycle era to be fulfilled.”

“All that the essence’s will agrees to will naturally be bound by the operational laws and will not deceive,” the Elder Zuoshen said.

The voice spread, subtly carrying an ancient wave that extended outward, enveloping the entire hall, naturally reaching Luo Feng as well.

“I believe,” Luo Feng nodded.

…

In the Cosmic Sea, the three cycle eras were to select a vanguard to venture into the boundary beasts’ nests first, an extremely dangerous task. Therefore, naturally, there was much arguing. Why should I go? Why can’t he go? I am the hope of my lineage’s race; if I perish, my entire race will be ruined.

Internal discussions, compromises of interests, etc., might take years or even longer to finally decide.

This was also within Luo Feng’s expectations, and compared to trillions of eons, a few years were too brief, so there was no hurry.

…

Just as discussions were ongoing within the Cosmic Sea about the selection, the boundary beast ‘Moluo Sa’ had already quietly left the Qingfeng Realm.

“Wow!”

“This is the chaotic current.”

“There isn’t such abundant chaotic current inside the nest; it’s everywhere,” a tall, majestic, golden giant with a tail stood in the chaotic current. He was clad in an ancient armor, his body lines perfectly sculpted, his two blood-red eyes flashing with ferocity.

The boundary beast looked around. Its current form was the common form among the races of the Cosmic Sea, and it exuded divine power. At first glance, one might mistake it for a powerful being from one of the Cosmic Sea races.

“Whoosh!”

The boundary beast opened its mouth wide and inhaled fiercely, causing a massive amount of chaotic current to rush into its mouth. For a moment, the surroundings seemed to transform into a black hole, with chaotic currents continuously surging in. It continued to inhale for about a whole day before finally stopping.

“Truly comfortable! Although it’s not as exhilarating as devouring other beings, at least I can inhale anytime,” Moluo Sa was very satisfied. Although there were chaotic currents within the Qingfeng Realm, they were so thin they could almost be ignored. “Still, inhaling this chaotic current to enhance my strength is too slow.”

Zuuu!

Moluo Sa took a step forward and immediately began an ultra-long-distance teleportation, wandering leisurely through the Cosmic Sea. It had the Cosmic Sea map provided by Zhengjia King and Qiu Yan Zuoshen, so it was not afraid of getting lost. Moreover, each boundary beast had an extremely strong sense of each other; even if it got lost, it could find the other boundary beasts.

…

Roaming freely through the Cosmic Sea, half a month later.

The golden, mighty, and tall boundary beast Moluo Sa, its tail swinging, stood in the void, gazing intently at the enormous small universe ahead. The entire small universe had a diameter of one hundred million light-years—how vast was that?

“Wo, wo…”

“So good, so good, so good.” Moluo Sa’s blood-red eyes were filled with intense madness, staring fixedly at the small universe in the distance, its tail swinging wildly, clearly in an extremely excited state.

“I can sense the cosmic essence of this small universe! What an exquisite delicacy! Just sensing it makes me shiver…” Moluo Sa was extremely excited. It had once devoured other boundary beasts, which could be described as an ultimate enjoyment. Yet now, merely sensing the ‘delicious aroma’ emanating from the essence of this small universe made it almost uncontrollable.

This was undoubtedly an exquisite enjoyment no less than devouring other boundary beasts.

“Eat.”

“Eat.”

Moluo Sa howled in its mind, but its intelligence held everything in check.

“Originally, small universes are this delicious. As those two servants said, in the Cosmic Sea, there are numerous small universes, as well as sacred universes, and the primordial universe. My current strength is still weak! The essence of small universes offers the weakest resistance, so I can devour them the fastest. Devouring sacred universes would likely be much slower, and devouring the primordial universe would be the slowest. However, the essence of the primordial universe is endless.”

“This small universe ahead, according to the Cosmic Sea map, belongs to a very ordinary True God from the first cycle era.”

“The most threatening one is the Galactic Lord.”

“As for this True God? He’s quite ordinary. Let him be my first delicacy.”

After thinking, Moluo Sa decided that the owner of this small universe should be an easy target. Thus, it resolved to begin devouring.
