Black Dragon Mountain Island, within a luxurious palace.
“The future prospects are boundless,” sighed the silver-haired elder. “As for Luo Feng’s future… it’s impossible to predict.”
“Hmm,” the royal uncle nodded in agreement.
“Is there no way to recruit him into the holy land?” the emperor, sitting in the center, asked in a low voice. The two Sovereigns beside him slightly shook their heads. Among them, the silver-haired elder, ‘Bote Ashka,’ explained, “Your Majesty, someone who has already stepped into the threshold of the Origin Laws at the Stellar King level is a rare genius beyond the reach of our Black Dragon Holy Land.”
“Ah?” The emperor was momentarily stunned.
Unlike the ruler of the Qianwu Galaxy Nation, who had reigned for countless eons, the emperor of the Black Dragon Empire would change after a certain period.
Therefore, this emperor was indeed unaware of many hidden secrets.
“Didn’t Your Majesty notice that there is only one Qianwu Dojo across the entire galaxy nation, and all other factions are forbidden from establishing martial arts academies?” the silver-haired elder asked in return.
“Indeed, the Qianwu Galaxy Nation does emphasize the recruitment of foundational talents,” the emperor nodded.
“Exactly. Someone like Luo Feng, even if we were the first to discover him… ultimately, he will still end up in the hands of the Qianwu Galaxy Nation,” the silver-haired elder shook his head. “Moreover, we dare not even voice any complaints. Regardless, Luo Feng hails from our Black Dragon Star Region. Should he achieve greatness in the future, it will bring benefit to our region.”
“With such talent, we should cultivate a good relationship. After ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years, no one can foresee what heights Luo Feng will reach,” the elder said solemnly.
“I understand,” the emperor nodded.
With such innate talent, as long as he doesn’t perish midway, becoming a Sovereign is all but certain. And someone who steps into the Origin Laws at the Stellar King level will become an extremely formidable Sovereign. Should he ascend to the rank of an Immortal, his power would be truly heaven-defying.
Immortal existences…
At present, there are only two in the entire Black Dragon Empire: one is the Divine Ruler of the Black Dragon Holy Land, and the other is the Divine Ruler of the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom. Thus, the Black Dragon Empire dared not easily provoke an Immortal.
…
Within a vast divine kingdom.
Endless mountain ranges stretched across the land, with scattered volcanoes dotting the continent. Occasionally, eruptions would cast the entire kingdom into a dark red hue, and the scent of sulfur filled the air. On a towering peak that pierced the clouds, ancient palaces were built atop it, their walls adorned with intricate carvings.
Inside the grand palace hall.
Upon the throne sat a red-eyed man clad in a dark crimson robe. Around his body, black flames faintly flickered. His gaze seemed to peer from another dimension, sending chills down the spine.
On the left and right sides of the hall were four thrones each.
Currently, only three figures occupied the thrones below. Each of them exuded a faint pressure that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, as if their slightest movement could tear the sky and split the land.
“Divine Ruler, this young fellow Luo Feng has already sensed a fragment of the Origin Laws at the Stellar King level. He would be the perfect disciple for me,” said a warrior clad in golden battle armor, whose presence exuded a faint yet terrifying fluctuation—the fluctuation of the Gold Origin Law.
Billions of times more powerful than Luo Feng.
“Wot, my brother!” the red-eyed man’s voice was low and hoarse. “I know you desperately need a disciple. However, we cannot rival the Qianwu Galaxy Nation!”
“Wot.”
The other two also turned their gazes toward the golden-armored warrior.
“My lifespan is nearing its end,” the golden-armored warrior said calmly. “Although my current disciples possess decent talent, it is still extremely difficult for them to inherit my secret techniques. My demise is inevitable. I only wish to find a successor before I die, to witness my secret techniques passed on, so I may close my eyes in peace. This is my greatest hope now.”
The others remained silent.
Immortals are indeed eternal beings.
But that does not mean they are invincible. Just like the Master of Yimo Star, and countless other great Immortals throughout history, they too perished. Immortals possess extraordinary vitality; even if their physical bodies and souls are shattered into dust, they can still reform. However, some wounds are irreversible. Like the Master of Yimo Star, he could only watch helplessly as his life faded away.
“Wot, my brother, I will do my utmost to find an outstanding disciple for you,” the red-eyed man said solemnly. “As for young Luo Feng… as long as he isn’t foolish, he will surely choose the Qianwu Galaxy Nation, or even the more powerful Virtual Universe Company.”
“It has always been this way.”
“Even the greatest geniuses require the best external conditions and guidance to achieve the most glorious accomplishments. In terms of strength and environment, we indeed cannot compare with the Qianwu Galaxy Nation.”
The golden-armored warrior remained silent.
For hundreds of millions of years, the greatest pride of his life was the secret techniques he created. While alive, he treated them as treasures, never willing to pass them on. Even his disciples received only a small portion of his teachings. However, when he realized his death was inevitable, his thoughts changed completely—he longed to witness a disciple mastering his techniques before he passed.
If it came to the worst, he would have to entrust his techniques to his friends and brothers, asking them to train a disciple on his behalf. Just as the Master of Yimo Star entrusted the training of his disciple to ‘Babata.’
“Divine Ruler,” the golden-armored warrior stood up.
“Wot,” the red-eyed man also rose, as did the other two.
“I’m tired. I want to return to my homeland,” the golden-armored warrior sighed. “Before death arrives, I wish to spend some time revisiting my homeland.” With that, he turned and flew away from the hall. As an Immortal, all his loved ones had long vanished into the river of time—even Sovereigns rarely lived beyond a million years.
The other three remained silent for a moment.
“Wot, I will find a disciple for you,” the red-eyed man’s voice echoed into the golden-armored warrior’s mind, already millions of miles away.
Inside the hall, the three looked at each other.
“It’s all fake. We were deceived. That bastard Kunsharo, I will definitely settle the score with him! Wat’s death was all because of him! Daring to sell me a fake map to the secret realm!!!” the red-eyed man growled in low fury, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
“Kunsharo is a subordinate of the Qianwu Ruler. It will be difficult for us to find an opportunity!”
“Then we wait!”
“Even if it takes a hundred million, a billion, or ten billion years. As long as there is an opportunity, I, Menghuo, will personally kill him!! He dared to use a fake map to the secret realm to take my treasures and money, and even cost me the life of a brother. He must die! He must die! Let him try hiding under the protection of the Qianwu Ruler forever!!!” the red-eyed man roared in rage. Black flames erupted skyward, instantly reducing the entire palace to nothingness.
His roar echoed throughout the boundless divine kingdom spanning millions of miles.
…
Black Dragon Mountain Island.
Luo Feng truly became famous overnight!
This battle not only shocked the entire Black Dragon Empire but even the entire Qianwu Galaxy Nation!
“Dad, your face is known all over Black Dragon Mountain Island. If you go out, you’ll be recognized immediately,” Xiao Hai clapped his hands and jumped excitedly beside him.
“I’ll have to disguise myself when going out from now on,” Luo Feng patted his son’s head.
“Now that I think about it, it’s really strange,” Xu Xin, standing beside him, poured tea for Luo Feng and smiled. “Last time when you passed the preliminary selection, many organizations sent people over. This time, after the arena battle ended, you performed so impressively. I thought even more powerful organizations and factions would come to us. But so far, not a single one has come!”
“It is indeed strange,” Luo Feng nodded.
Suddenly—
“Haha, Luo Feng!” a cheerful voice rang out.
“Ah, just now we said no one came, and now someone has,” Xu Xin looked over and whispered, “It’s someone from the Three Axes Mountain organization.”
Luo Feng looked and indeed saw three people approaching.
In the middle walked an elderly man with white hair, smiling kindly. On his left was a man clad in a deep red battle robe, and on his right was a tall, muscular man—Mingyu. Judging from the experience gained at the Qianwu Auction, the man in the red battle robe was definitely a Sovereign.
Moreover, there was a lightning mark on his forehead.
Clearly, he was a Sovereign who had gained recognition from the Lightning Origin Law, undoubtedly among the most formidable Sovereigns. As for the kind old man… Luo Feng couldn’t tell his strength, but since the old man was walking in the center, he probably held the highest status among them.
“Mingyu, sir,” Luo Feng quickly stood up.
“Haha, I’m not worthy of being called ‘sir.’ Luo Feng, let me introduce you,” Mingyu laughed as he pointed to the man in the red battle robe. “This is General Jiang Tianchen of our Three Axes Mountain. Among the Sovereigns of the Black Dragon Star Region, he is undoubtedly among the most elite.”
“Greetings, General,” Luo Feng bowed respectfully.
General Jiang Tianchen slightly nodded.
“This one,” Mingyu then introduced the old man with white hair, his voice slightly trembling, “is one of the three founders of the Three Axes Mountain—the Supreme Commander.”
“Supreme Commander,” Luo Feng quickly bowed, his heart surging with shock.
Supreme Commander?
The three founders of the Three Axes Mountain included two Immortals and one who had long been missing. Which one was this?
“Hmm,” the old man slightly nodded.
“Where is Hong?” Mingyu asked. “The Supreme Commander wishes to meet him.”
“Oh? Alright, I’ll get him,” Luo Feng nodded.
…
Luo Feng, Thunder God, Mingyu, and General Jiang Tianchen all stood outside, while inside the room was the ‘Supreme Commander’ and Hong.
“What could the Supreme Commander want with the older brother?” Thunder God asked.
“I don’t know,” Luo Feng shook his head.
“It’s good news,” Mingyu smiled.
“I hope he doesn’t disappoint the Supreme Commander,” the Sovereign Jiang Tianchen beside him said coldly.
…
Inside the room, only Hong and the Supreme Commander ‘Luo’ remained.
“What!” Hong stared in shock at the old man with white hair. “Supreme Commander, you… you…”
This legendary figure had barely spoken a few sentences before startling Hong.
“Your talent is quite impressive, and your character reminds me of my younger self. Although I have not become an Immortal, my understanding of the Light Origin Law is sufficient to be your teacher,” the old man shook his head. “However, there is one thing I must inform you beforehand—I do not have much time left. I have only two thousand more years to live!”
