“What unique places are there?” Luo Feng asked casually, though without much interest. The Rasoa World was an expansive continent that had been constructed, not shaped by cosmic evolution. Even if some powerful warriors of the Golden-Horned Clan had left behind treasures upon their deaths in history, they were likely long since scavenged.
Elder Kebu sensed Luo Feng’s disinterest and inwardly mused, “My master ordered me to kill this human, Luo Feng, at all costs. However, there is an immortal guardian beside him, along with Sifan Qi. Both of them are far stronger than I am. As long as they are present, I have no chance of killing Luo Feng. If I cannot keep Luo Feng in the Rasoa World, I may never get another opportunity.”
Once the soul is invaded and controlled, absolute loyalty to the master is ensured.
The master’s command is paramount.
Even sacrificing one’s life is of no concern.
“Our Golden-Horned Clan has a rule that once one reaches the Cosmic level, they must leave the tribe to undergo trials and adventures,” Elder Kebu explained. “Therefore, in some desolate areas of the Rasoa World, immortal deities have built their own temples, recruiting outstanding individuals who venture out into these temples. Our Golden-Horned Clan encourages powerful beings to construct temples in wild areas, which is why the youth of our clan eagerly anticipate going out to train and explore!”
Luo Feng smiled faintly.
“Through countless eons, some powerful beings have perished, leaving behind ruins. Our clan elders do not deliberately seek treasures,” Kebu continued with a chuckle. “Meanwhile, other immortal deities find it impractical to explore the entire Rasoa World, which has led to the formation of many wondrous places. Additionally, to help immortal deities and ordinary clan members enhance their strength, our Golden-Horned Clan has constructed several places similar to holy cities. The Holy Stele Tower is effective only for those who follow the ‘Spatial and Golden’ path, while those who cultivate other laws also have their own special locations.”
Luo Feng shook his head slightly. “I’m not interested.”
“There is one place, my lord, that you would truly regret missing,” suddenly interjected the intelligent computer on Kebu’s wrist, projecting a beam of light into the air that formed a simple set of images. “This is a must-visit location for human warriors coming to our Golden-Horned Clan’s homeland!”
Luo Feng, who had been indifferent, glanced at the images and felt his heart tremble, his eyes instantly lighting up.
He stared intently at the projected images.
“How could this be… how could this be…” Luo Feng’s mind was in turmoil.
The images revealed a towering colossus nestled within the mountain valley—a gargantuan, horned reptilian behemoth that exuded an overwhelming aura of dread. Even through mere photographs, its invisible yet palpable pressure sent icy tendrils of terror creeping down one’s spine.
“It’s him!”
“The Beast God!”
“This is the statue of the Beast God,” Luo Feng murmured, his eyes locked on the image.
From his experiences in the Blood-Luo Continent, Luo Feng knew that in a distant age, the Beast God of that land had engaged in repeated battles with a superbeing from the Virtual Universe Company. Though he had never seen the Beast God with his own eyes, Luo Feng could sense its terrifying might.
Far surpassing the Golden-Horned Beast, far surpassing the Destroyer Beast!
…
Observing Luo Feng’s expression, Elder Kebu smiled. “This is an incredibly unique place in our Golden-Horned Clan’s homeland, and it’s almost a must-visit for powerful human beings who come here—the Beast God Canyon!”
“The Beast God Canyon?” Luo Feng looked at Elder Kebu.
Did the Golden-Horned Clan also refer to this statue as the Beast God?
“Our most revered elder, Hieronymus, once said that his ultimate technique was inspired by this colossal Beast God statue,” Elder Kebu said with admiration. “At that time, Hieronymus also stated that whoever could fully comprehend this colossal Beast God statue would attain power rivaling his own.”
Luo Feng shuddered.
Power rivaling Hieronymus? Hieronymus, the most revered leader of the entire Golden-Horned Clan, capable of single-handedly guarding the entire clan—how magnificent was that?
“Because of Hieronymus’s words,” Elder Kebu sighed, “countless members of our clan have visited this colossal Beast God statue over countless eons, yet none have uncovered its secrets. Even the elders have not heard of any elder who has truly understood this colossal Beast God statue. Many great human beings have also come specifically to view this colossal Beast God statue, hoping to attain power rivaling Hieronymus by deciphering it. However, it seems… no one has been known to succeed.”
“Of course, perhaps there are great human beings who have understood this colossal Beast God statue but have not made it public.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
So it was this statue that had granted Hieronymus, the greatest leader in the history of the Golden-Horned Clan, his formidable abilities.
“Senior Elder Sifan Qi, is this true?” Luo Feng turned to Sifan Qi beside him.
“Yes,” Sifan Qi nodded, then shook his head with a smile. “However, over countless years, no one else besides the great Hieronymus has been able to understand this Beast God statue. Even I, when I look at this colossal Beast God statue, perceive it as nothing more than a normal statue. The carved textures seem to hold no special significance, and I cannot comprehend them at all. At one point, some elders of our clan even suggested cutting open the colossal statue to check if there were any hidden secrets inside. However, out of respect for Elder Hieronymus and belief in his words, damaging the colossal Beast God statue was strictly forbidden.”
“And yet, we still cannot see anything,” Sifan Qi shook his head.
Luo Feng was secretly astonished.
Sifan Qi was an immortal Sovereign-level deity, a formidable being capable of instantaneous movement. If placed in the Qi Wu Cosmic Nation, only the Qi Wu King would surpass him. Yet even such a being could see nothing extraordinary.
“Take me there!” Luo Feng said directly.
…
The Yimo Star left the Holy City and headed toward the Beast God Canyon.
“It is truly an honor, my lord, that you allow me to accompany you to the Beast God Canyon,” Elder Kebu, clad in gray battle armor, said inside the control room of the Yimo Star.
“It’s nothing.”
Luo Feng gazed at the endless landscape outside, “You also wish to visit a friend in the Beast God Canyon. Since it’s on the way, traveling together is fine.”
With that, Luo Feng turned and returned to the rest chamber.
Dylan resided in a nearby rest chamber, responsible for protection.
“Now is indeed not the time. This Dylan has always followed Luo Feng, his immortal power constantly surrounding Luo Feng as a precaution,” Elder Kebu mused, glancing at Dylan’s retreating figure. “But I’m not in a hurry. Once we reach the Beast God Canyon, where many powerful beings gather and chaos reigns, there will surely be an opportunity.”
…
The distance between the Holy City and the Beast God Canyon was not too great. After nearly a month of travel aboard the Yimo Star, the destination was reached.
Above the endless mountains, the crimson triangular spacecraft began to decelerate and soon hovered in place.
“Whoosh!”
The hatch opened.
Luo Feng, accompanied by Dylan and others, flew out and immediately retracted the Yimo Star into his inner world.
“Prince Luo Feng,” Elder Sifan Qi pointed into the distance, “there lies the Beast God Canyon, where the colossal statue of the Beast God awaits.”
Luo Feng gazed into the distance, catching a glimpse of a vague silhouette within the canyon.
“Let’s go,” Luo Feng commanded.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, they flew tens of thousands of kilometers, arriving directly above the Beast God Canyon.
“So many Golden-Horned clansmen,” Luo Feng observed the ascetics in the cave openings along the canyon walls and the Golden-Horned clansmen seated in meditation on the canyon floor, sighing inwardly.
“Because Elder Hieronymus once said that whoever could understand this colossal statue of the Beast God would attain power rivaling his own, countless strong warriors of our clan have gathered here,” Elder Kebu pointed below with a smile. “Look, that palace about three thousand kilometers high is an Elder’s palace, stationed here specifically to protect the statue of the Beast God.”
Luo Feng immediately spotted the majestic palace below.
But…
Compared to the colossal statue of the Beast God, the palace seemed ordinary.
“The colossal statue of the Beast God lies in a sleeping posture. Its body length, including the tail, is approximately ten thousand kilometers,” Elder Kebu explained.
Luo Feng, however, quickly descended, flying toward the massive statue of the Beast God.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng landed on the ground, gazing up at the immense statue of the Beast God. In the Blood-Luo World, he had once obtained a statue of the Beast God, but that one was very small. Moreover, his statue of the Beast God stood on four legs, its single horn pointing defiantly to the heavens. But the one before him…
A colossal statue of the Beast God stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers lay prone, its eyes closed in slumber.
Each scale was incredibly distinct.
“What terrifying pressure.”
“Just a lifeless colossal statue, yet it makes me feel the same pressure I felt when facing the elders of the Holy City.” Luo Feng gazed at the slumbering colossal statue of the Beast God, holding his breath.
“Prince, no one has ever discovered the secrets of this statue of the Beast God. Even immortal deities and elders cannot penetrate the statue to examine its interior,” Elder Sifan Qi, now beside Luo Feng, sighed. “No one can understand its mysteries.”
“I can’t see anything either.”
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brow, speaking softly.
Indeed.
He could perceive nothing. The tiny effigy of the Beast Deity he had acquired—the very relic that the Golden-Horned Beast scrutinized to master the Heaven-Rending Talon—enabled him to sense the divine essence within the miniature idol. By attuning to its profound mysteries, the Golden-Horned Beast ascended through ceaseless refinement and transcendent breakthroughs.
(Note: This translation preserves the mystical tone of xianxia/xuanhuan fantasy while adapting idioms like “意境” as “profound mysteries” and “突破” as “transcendent breakthroughs” to match genre conventions. The capitalization of “Heaven-Rending Talon” and “Beast Deity” follows fantasy naming conventions for techniques and divine entities.)
But this towering colossal statue of the Beast God before him, Luo Feng was certain, was also the Beast God!
Except for that terrifying pressure…
He felt nothing else!
“There must be some secret. Hieronymus wouldn’t have created a statue to toy with our clan for countless eons,” Luo Feng gazed up at the colossal statue of the Beast God. “Hmm, I’ll compare it with the small statue of the Beast God I have. By examining them side by side, down to every scale and plate, I might find some difference.”
At that moment…
It wasn’t just Luo Feng, or just the Golden-Horned clansmen, but also several other powerful human beings who were also deeply pondering the secrets of this colossal statue.
