Chapter 847: The Golden-Armored Beast

The Sovereign Puai and others destroyed the spatial passage and no longer cared about what happened inside the already damaged sacrificial tower. They now focused solely on cultivating powerful descendants within their clan.

Inside the sacrificial tower.

The Purple Bell King had a thin, small frame and a hideous face. A faint purple bell shadow shimmered over his body, and an invisible oppressive force spread outward as he glared at the figure before him.

Luo Feng, with his wings slightly fluttering naturally, looked at the Purple Bell King with a faint smile.

In terms of physical stature among the countless species of the vast universe, Luo Feng’s form was indeed quite average. However, the Purple Bell King stood only 1.6 meters tall and was thin, giving Luo Feng a certain advantage.

“I underestimated you,” the Purple Bell King rasped.

“I didn’t expect you to be so cunning either,” Luo Feng replied softly.

“The treasure was originally mine. I never expected you to end up obtaining it. I suppose you also seized many treasures after the death of Zhenjin King,” the Purple Bell King clenched his scaly claws tightly, clearly furious. Anyone would feel enraged at losing the chance to obtain treasures equivalent to covering an entire street with gold ingots, only to end up with a mere truckload while the opponent gained a hundredfold more.

“Originally yours?”

Luo Feng sneered. “Within that treasure were artifacts from the Huchi King, the Yechen King, the Bingren, and also Zhenjin King! This treasure of the sacrificial tower originally belonged to the native species of the Yanji Continent! Which of them was ever yours?”

“I survived in the end, so naturally it belongs to me,” the Purple Bell King snorted coldly.

“There was a fierce battle, and one by one they fell. In the end, only two remained,” Luo Feng said lightly. “In such a battle, survival itself is victory, and I am the true victor.”

“Cunning,” the Purple Bell King gritted his teeth.

He had burned his immortal body and consumed a Flame God Source Crystal to kill Zhenjin King, only for most of the treasure to end up in Luo Feng’s hands.

“You’re not so bad yourself.”

“You concealed your strength. Even though you had the power to deal with me, you chose instead to burn 3% of your immortal body to hide your true power. You let the strongest among us, Zhenjin King, fight against me and the others. Yechen King died, Bingren died, Huchi King died, and even at the last moment, you were still roaring, forcing me to fight desperately! Obviously, you were playing a game—letting us four weaken Zhenjin King’s strength before you delivered the final blow,” Luo Feng said softly. “In terms of cunning and ruthlessness, I can’t match you. But I have more patience.”

“Ga ga ga…”

The Purple Bell King let out a piercing laugh. “Well said. My methods surpass yours, but your survival and concealment techniques are indeed superior.”

“But!”

“The ultimate treasure will still be mine!” As the Purple Bell King’s voice echoed through the passage, a purple bell suddenly expanded and rushed directly toward Luo Feng.

As soon as the Purple Bell King moved, Luo Feng flapped his wings violently and activated the Three Oscillation Cosmic Travel.

Whoosh!

His speed instantly surged, whistling as he darted into a nearby winding passage and quickly fled along it.

“Don’t escape!” The Purple Bell King, his body faintly surrounded by bell shadows, chased desperately.

Swish! Swish!

The distance between them rapidly increased. Even a peak-ranked King-level expert like Zhenjin King could only use other means to hinder Luo Feng’s speed within such winding passages, let alone the much weaker Purple Bell King. He simply couldn’t stop Luo Feng… and in an instant, he was completely left behind, unable to even see him anymore.

Unable to see or sense him with his eyes.

“Damn it,” the Purple Bell King’s eyes burned with fury and frustration. “I must kill you. I must.”

Luo Feng had obtained most of the treasure, and now knew the Purple Bell King’s great secret—the mysterious ancient bell.

These two reasons alone made the Purple Bell King determined to kill Luo Feng.

“I must kill him at all costs.”

“The powerful hidden card—the ancient bell—once others know I possess it, they will guard against me. And some super beings might even try to take it from me.”

“I must kill him quickly.”

“Chase.”

The Purple Bell King relentlessly pursued, even though he couldn’t see Luo Feng, speeding toward the exit of the sacrificial tower as fast as he could.

Luo Feng flew out of the core passage, passed through the ordinary residential area, and finally exited the sacrificial tower through its entrance.

“I’m out,” Luo Feng looked around at the vast amount of rocks and dirt, a faint smile appearing.

“Got chased pretty badly.”

“Inside the tower, I couldn’t fully unleash my strongest combat power—it was so cramped. Even my enormous Jingu Beast body would have been compressed like a biscuit in such narrow corridors,” Luo Feng grinned, immediately switching bodies. Within half a second, a colossal beast emerged from the dust and dirt.

It was over a hundred kilometers long, entirely golden, with thick, powerful hooves and a pair of extended golden wings. Its eyes were dark golden.

“Roar~~” Hot air blew from its nostrils.

“After obtaining the Royal Armor, I’ve never truly fought at full strength. This will be the first time facing the Purple Bell King,” the Jingu Beast loomed in the endless dust, easily pushing it aside. To this mighty beast, the thick layers of earth and dust were no more obstructive than air to a human on Earth.

The Jingu Beast crouched there, gazing down like a giant watching an ant hill, waiting for the tiny ant to emerge.

“This human is weak and can’t teleport. Once he comes out of the sacrificial tower, I’ll find him and he won’t escape. I can teleport!”

“Human, you can’t escape me!” The Purple Bell King, in a streak of light, finally flew out from the entrance of the sacrificial tower.

Swoosh!

As soon as he exited, the Purple Bell King unleashed his immortal power in a furious wave, trying to scan in all directions. At the same time, he used detection devices and released his Law Domain. In short, he used every method at his disposal, determined to locate the human ‘Yang’ as quickly as possible.

“Ahh!” The Purple Bell King stared in shock at the enormous creature before him.

The Jingu Beast, even while crouched, stood over 80 kilometers tall. The size difference was like a small human on Earth looking up at a monster taller than the Himalayas by more than ten times.

“What a massive beast! Where did it come from? Is it from the demon race or a Star Beast?” The Purple Bell King was bewildered and perplexed.

“Roar!”

The Jingu Beast had been crouching silently, waiting. As soon as it saw the Purple Bell King appear, it immediately swung its right hoof without hesitation. Due to the ‘Beast God Transformation’ and the ‘Blood-Net Power’ driving the change, this hoof was especially thick, nearly twice as large as the normal proportion for a Jingu Beast. Each claw, like a massive blade, was terrifyingly sharp.

“Crack!”

As the claw struck, space collapsed, and the dust and dirt were instantly sucked into spatial turbulence. Both the Jingu Beast and the Purple Bell King were pulled into the spatial rift.

Boom~~~

One was prepared, the other surprised, perhaps even wanting to test the beast’s strength with a direct confrontation. In any case, the Jingu Beast’s sudden, close-range strike slammed directly into the Purple Bell King.

“Rumble~~~” Within the spatial rift, amidst endless spatial chaos, the Purple Bell King steadied himself.

“Roar~~” The Jingu Beast flew forward, exerting pressure.

“What a terrifying beast!”

“It’s actually a peak-ranked King-level fighter!” The Purple Bell King was shocked.

Swish!

The Jingu Beast, massive in size and wearing the Royal Armor, flapped its wings, its speed several times faster than Luo Feng’s Earthling form. The endless sea of fire formed by the three flame bells controlled by the Purple Bell King seemed to waver before being shattered by a dazzling golden river.

“Even faster than that human Yang!” The Purple Bell King, after only two exchanges, completely lost his will to fight.

“At my peak, I can’t gain any advantage over this beast.”

“And inside the sacrificial tower, my immortal body was severely damaged, and my strength is less than half,” the Purple Bell King was both anxious and furious.

He had no desire to fight this beast and was eager to find Luo Feng.

“What’s going on? Where did that human escape to? And now this beast suddenly appears. Yes… this beast resembles the legendary Silver Wing King. The size, the crown on its head, the thick hooves, the wings… the only difference is the color. Previously entirely silver, now entirely golden. Changing the surface color is easy, so it must be the Silver Wing King. The Silver Wing King belongs to the human faction… so Yang must be human, likely having summoned a friend.”

“Damn it!”

“It’s the worst-case scenario I feared. As soon as he exited the tower, he summoned allies! This golden beast is likely the first to arrive. There could be other powerful beings on their way.”

Thinking this, though reluctant, the Purple Bell King could only choose to retreat.

Flash!

He teleported and vanished into thin air.

After the Purple Bell King disappeared, the Jingu Beast also vanished, and the Earthling form of Luo Feng reappeared.

“Right,” Luo Feng nodded slightly. “Undoubtedly, the Jingu Beast possesses peak-ranked King-level combat power. Although slightly lacking in Law comprehension, the tenfold surge in cosmic Law compatibility and the self-created peak martial art compensate for this shortcoming, granting me true peak-ranked King-level strength.”

“But there are obvious weaknesses.”

“True peak-ranked King-level experts usually possess powerful Law abilities—either teleportation, time suspension, or other formidable techniques,” Luo Feng mused. “Looks like I still need to improve. My strength isn’t enough yet.”

The Jingu Beast had tremendous combat power, but lacked teleportation and time suspension abilities—both life-saving techniques derived from mastering space or time Laws.

Luo Feng lacked these techniques.

But he gained the life-saving abilities granted by the Royal Armor and the Shiwu Wings.

“Whoosh!” Luo Feng transformed into a streak of silver light, quickly exiting the spatial rift and returning to the Yanji Continent. He boarded a spaceship and flew at sub-light speed above the Yanji Continent…

High above the icy plains far from the Yanji Continent.

“Human!”

“Human!” The Purple Bell King, covered in scales with a hideous face, clenched his fists tightly. The powerful energy aura caused the surrounding space to crack, and the shockwaves sent hurricanes raging across tens of thousands of kilometers of icy land below.

“You took the treasures that should have been mine, including the treasures of the sacrificial tower!”

“And you know my secret.”

“I… must kill you. I must kill you,” the Purple Bell King’s eyes gleamed with coldness and sharp glints, as if plotting various schemes to deal with Luo Feng.
