“This is the Seal,” said King Yechen, flipping his hand and producing two triangular, translucent stones covered with intricate secret patterns, resembling jade material from Earth.
“Implant your spiritual mark, and it will acknowledge you as its master,” King Yechen explained. “Only those who possess the Seal can enter the Sacrificial Tower; otherwise, entry is impossible.”
“These secret patterns contain the Spatial Law and the Water Law… wow, such amazing law patterns,” King Hushi exclaimed in admiration after receiving the Seal. Luo Feng casually took his Seal and sent a strand of mental energy into it. Instantly, his spiritual mark was implanted, and the Seal melted directly into his skin.
A spiritual mark was essentially a soul mark or a life mark.
King Hushi also accepted his Seal.
“Alright, let’s depart,” King Yechen commanded.
Whoosh!
The three human faction experts instantly vanished from the cave and reappeared deep underground trillions of kilometers away.
…
Deep underground.
Luo Feng felt spatial displacement; one moment he was in the cave, and the next, he stood in the darkness of the underground.
“This is…” Luo Feng gazed at the colossal structure standing amidst the dirt and rocks. Because of the surrounding earth obscuring it, he could only see a few hundred meters ahead. What lay before him was a massive building with a circular entrance door, completely shut. Despite the passage of billions of years, the tower itself remained undamaged.
“Barbara, scan this Sacrificial Tower,” Luo Feng instructed.
“I cannot detect the tower, only dirt and rocks within a 20 km radius.”
“Really? Even the micro-detector can’t detect it?” Luo Feng was surprised. He had heard that detectors couldn’t locate the Sacrificial Tower, not even the divine power scans of a Cosmic Lord could. But trying it himself made him realize how formidable the Sacrificial Tower truly was.
“It’s right in front of me, yet my divine power scan can’t find it,” King Hushi’s deep voice exclaimed in astonishment. “My divine scan sweeps forward and senses only ordinary rocks and earth, yet my eyes can see it clearly.”
“This is the mystery of the Sacrificial Tower.”
King Yechen smiled. “Unless standing right before it, even a Cosmic Lord cannot locate it. This ‘Sacrificial Tower’ was the survival base for the Yanyi natives when they fled, a primary tool for the entire clan’s escape—it’s just that amazing.”
“A corpse!”
Luo Feng immediately noticed a body lying flat on a nearby rock. The corpse was about 2.6 meters tall, entirely resembling jade, with six arms and a bald head. It faintly exuded a pressure—an immortal god’s pressure. Remaining intact for billions of years without decay naturally indicated it belonged to an immortal god.
“The pressure is strong; this immortal corpse obviously has highly condensed divine power, likely a King-ranked immortal,” King Hushi said, approaching and examining it.
“It is indeed King-ranked,” King Yechen also glanced at the corpse and smiled. “When fleeing, this Sacrificial Tower was managed by six King-ranked experts, each holding a Seal.”
“Looks like he died without any pain.”
Luo Feng observed carefully as well.
The corpse’s expression showed anxiety, eyes wide open, as if dying suddenly.
“He died quickly,” King Yechen remarked. “Killing a King-ranked immortal is difficult, yet he died without any damage to his armor, suggesting no fierce battle occurred. I speculate that when the four peak clans opened their battlefield, the mass of Cosmic Lords directly unleashed soul attacks, sweeping across the entire Yanyi continent. All life on the Yanyi continent was wiped out, including the six King-ranked immortals.”
Luo Feng nodded.
…
King Yechen, King Hushi, and Luo Feng stood before the entrance.
“Slowly wait; the alien enemies will arrive soon,” King Yechen said. “Probably very soon.”
“Alright.”
Luo Feng and King Hushi sat cross-legged in front of the Sacrificial Tower’s entrance, silently waiting.
Only moments later!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three figures appeared before them.
“King Yechen, you arrived early,” a shrill, piercing voice rang out. A figure nearly three meters tall, covered in black and golden mottled scales, with an elongated head and small eyes like a snake’s, opened his silver-white mouth, emitting a shrill laugh. “Gaga… these are the two helpers you brought?”
“This seemingly savage fellow must be King Hushi.”
“Oh, silver armor and silver wings… haven’t seen that before.” He narrowed his eyes, looking at Luo Feng.
“I’ll introduce first.”
King Yechen swept his gaze over the three enemy experts and spoke in a low tone. “I am King Yechen!”
“I am King Hushi,” the savage and wild King Hushi growled.
“I haven’t earned a King title yet; my nickname is ‘Yang.'” Luo Feng scanned the three enemy experts.
The three enemies…
Luo Feng immediately recognized two as Qixiang clan members, while the third was the highly renowned ‘Cangjin King’ of the Yanyi continent. Luo Feng knew much about Cangjin King, but the two Qixiang clan experts were completely unknown to him, as his time on the Yanyi continent had been too short.
The two Qixiang clan members were of different heights—one nearly three meters tall, the other only about 1.6 meters.
“Our side has introduced ourselves; what about you, Iceblade?” King Yechen called out.
“I’m called Iceblade,” the three-meter-tall Qixiang expert chuckled eerily.
“Zizhong King,” the 1.6-meter-tall Qixiang expert, similarly lean, spoke with an even shriller voice.
“Cangjin King,” the giant, matching King Hushi in height, bore lightning law patterns on his face. Standing there, he faintly radiated crackling electricity, exuding a domineering aura pressing toward the human side. However, King Hushi also erupted with a terrifying aura, causing the space around him to crackle as if breaking apart.
Two factions.
One was the human faction, the other the Machine Clan faction. Though, none in the Machine Clan faction were actually Machine Clan members.
“We’ve been introduced,” Iceblade laughed shrilly. “Let’s go inside together.”
“Alright,” King Yechen agreed.
Cangjin King and Zizhong King followed Iceblade, while Luo Feng and King Hushi followed King Yechen.
They all directly approached the entrance. The entrance was firmly shut, but when Iceblade touched it first, the previously solid material flowed like liquid, allowing him to step into the Sacrificial Tower. Then King Yechen did the same… As for Luo Feng and the other four experts entering the entrance for the first time, they remained cautious and alert.
“Strange.”
As Luo Feng touched the entrance, the Sacrificial Tower’s door automatically flowed, letting him pass through like water.
…
Inside the wide, one-kilometer-wide circular passage stood six King-ranked experts, including Luo Feng, with the entrance behind them.
“This treasure hunt won’t be easy.”
Luo Feng scanned the three enemy experts. “That Iceblade is High King-ranked, not too threatening. However, Cangjin King is a highly renowned expert across the entire Yanyi continent… likely possessing Limit King-ranked combat strength.”
“Yang, King Yechen, this is going to be troublesome,” King Hushi telepathically communicated. “Didn’t expect them to have Cangjin King.”
“Hmph,” King Yechen glanced at Luo Feng and King Hushi. “Iceblade is weaker than me. He knows that without inviting someone stronger, he might lose the treasure hunt in the Sacrificial Tower. Based on my research and analysis, Zizhong King should be a Peak King-ranked combatant. As for Cangjin King, you all know he’s Limit King-ranked.”
“Limit King-ranked!”
Luo Feng, King Hushi, and King Yechen all felt pressure.
King-ranked immortals were generally categorized into Low, High, and Peak King-ranked.
Low King-ranked immortal bodies usually reached 10,000 times the strength of a Domain Lord.
High King-ranked immortal bodies were about 30,000 times.
Peak King-ranked immortal bodies were about 100,000 times the strength of a Domain Lord.
A 100,000-fold strength was nearly the highest state for human King-ranked immortals, and without extraordinary opportunities, they couldn’t break through.
However, some King-ranked immortals possessed “body amplification secret techniques.” For example, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast had “Primordial Heaven,” “Beast God Transformation,” and “Innate Strengthening,” allowing its body to amplify 20 times its combat strength. Zhenyan King had received a Divine General’s inheritance. Similarly, other super King-ranked experts had also obtained Divine General inheritances or possessed body amplification secret techniques.
Body amplification was difficult!
The secret technique “Beast God Transformation” only amplified 2 times in its first level.
“Primordial Heaven” was powerful, created by combining the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s innate ability “Devouring” to create a body amplification secret technique. Luo Feng’s Earthling body only had one body amplification secret technique, “Beast God Transformation,” making human body amplification secret techniques extremely rare.
Amplifying 3 to 5 times was already very rare.
As for Divine General inheritances…
They were extremely scarce!
Even Cosmic Lords competed for such spots. Within the Hong Alliance, numerous race experts fought for them. Obtaining a Divine General inheritance usually required spending hundreds of billions of Yuan units and owing many favors. It was not something ordinary King-ranked immortals could achieve.
…
Therefore, King-ranked immortals were generally categorized as Low, High, and Peak King-ranked.
Only a few who possessed body amplification secret techniques, soul amplification secret techniques, self-created peak secret techniques, or special opportunities could unleash Limit King-ranked combat strength.
Going further!
Combining numerous opportunities with personal abilities could create a King-ranked immortal rivaling an average Cosmic Lord, such as Zhenyan King.
And “Cangjin King” belonged to this Limit King-ranked combat strength!
“A Limit King-ranked opponent is only one level stronger than us. Although our side is slightly disadvantaged, the gap isn’t significant,” King Yechen said.
“Alright, I’ll handle Cangjin King,” King Hushi’s eyes flared with fighting spirit.
Luo Feng glanced at King Hushi.
King Hushi was famous for his ferocity and could endure against Cangjin King.
“In fact, we have another advantage inside the Sacrificial Tower—that’s Yang,” King Yechen looked around. The tall walls of the circular passage were covered with countless ancient carvings, radiating law energy. “This Sacrificial Tower is mysterious, filled with mysterious power. For example, the space within the Sacrificial Tower is completely sealed! This is why I couldn’t teleport directly into the core area of the Sacrificial Tower.”
Teleportation was a powerful ability.
One could teleport directly from outside a spaceship into it. If the Sacrificial Tower were an ordinary building, King Yechen would have teleported into the core long ago.
“With spatial sealing, Yang’s speed and dodging will be a significant advantage for us. Plus, both King Hushi and I are Peak King-ranked. Although Cangjin King is a Limit King-ranked combatant, our strengths are nearly equal,” King Yechen said.
As Luo Feng’s side conversed secretly,
Iceblade, Zizhong King, and Cangjin King also conversed secretly.
After only a few seconds of discussion.
“Let’s head to the core area,” Iceblade suggested.
“Alright,” King Yechen nodded.
