“The forbidden guardian, according to the information I reviewed previously, is said to be a metal mechanical puppet,” Luo Feng murmured. “Although it is a mechanical puppet, it is clearly very advanced. First, it is immune to soul attacks. Second, powerful attacks generally struggle to damage its core energy source.”
“Master.”
Lian Luo, the Archer King, looked at the massive crimson centipede coiled on the desert and transmitted his voice, “This forbidden guardian cannot be directly breached, and soul attacks are completely ineffective. Although its energy core is very stable and difficult to destroy, we have no other choice—we must use a powerful attack to destroy its energy core.”
“I understand.” Luo Feng nodded, yet his gaze remained fixed on the forbidden guardian.
Luo Feng and Lian Luo observed the centipede guardian.
The massive crimson centipede also looked down at Luo Feng and Lian Luo as though a lion or tiger staring at a trembling hare, with a completely mocking attitude.
“Ga!!!” A shrill, grating screech erupted from the crimson centipede’s throat. The sound seemed like a shockwave, causing ripples in space wherever it passed. Traveling at light speed, the shockwave struck Luo Feng and Lian Luo directly, making their heads ring. As Luo Feng instantly regained clarity, he noticed that the centipede had vanished from the desert and appeared directly above him.
The crimson centipede’s massive body resembled a descending cloud, completely blocking the sky above Luo Feng and Lian Luo, as it lunged downward.
Its densely packed claws simultaneously launched over a dozen attacks, targeting Luo Feng and Lian Luo.
“Tearrrr~~”
Over a dozen claws, each tens of kilometers long, each resembling a slender sickle tens of kilometers in length, with nine forks at the end of each sickle. Now, these dozen sickles, taller than the highest mountains on Earth, simultaneously slashed and grabbed toward Luo Feng, rotating as they converged, like a meat grinder, easily tearing and churning through cosmic space.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng held his Blood Shadow Blade, grunted lowly, and shot skyward, unleashing his blade techniques toward the base where the claws connected to the centipede’s massive body.
Hua!
A silver river of blade light instantly appeared. “Boom~~~” One claw’s base was cleaved, cracking sideways, while the surrounding claws crazily surrounded Luo Feng, attacking wildly.
“Truly indestructible. My strike couldn’t even break through this cage,” Luo Feng muttered, watching the dozen claws descending from all directions. He had intended to directly attack the centipede’s abdominal body, which might have damaged the forbidden guardian’s internal energy core.
But surrounded by claws, he couldn’t even touch its body.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng flapped his wings, dodging the dozen claws surrounding him. The claws were larger and bulkier, yet Luo Feng’s dodging was incredibly ghostlike, allowing him to evade.
“Break!!!” Nearby, similarly surrounded, Lian Luo roared furiously.
Luo Feng glanced sideways.
He saw Lian Luo, also surrounded by a dozen claws, his aura surging. He had already activated his divine body amplification technique, holding an ancient longbow. He simply drew the bowstring fully, and when the arrow was released, the bowstring’s rebound shattered space into particle streams. The arrow formed two ghostly illusions, highly concentrated, as if two real arrows.
The two arrows flew upward, tearing through space along their path.
“Double Arrow from Lian Luo!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
Clearly one arrow, yet creating a double arrow effect, this was not the “illusion” of spatial laws, but a bow technique combining immense divine power and law application techniques, producing two real arrows. When Lian Luo was previously slain by Luo Feng into dormancy, his strength was less than a tenth, his divine power insufficient to execute the “Double Arrow” technique.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The Double Arrow struck the centipede’s claws, knocking them aside effortlessly.
“Boom~~~”
Finally, it struck the centipede’s abdomen, unleashing a peak king-level attack!
Tearrr!
The first arrow dissipated but still tore open the centipede’s abdomen, creating a wound. The second arrow completely pierced through, creating a massive hole in the centipede’s abdomen, causing it to convulse. The claws attacking Luo Feng halted, the entire creature convulsing.
“So powerful?” Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise.
“Master, be careful.” Lian Luo flashed to Luo Feng’s side, transmitting gravely, “The forbidden guardian’s defense is unmatched. Not just me—even a peak invincible king-level existence couldn’t forcibly tear through its body. I estimate this centipede’s abdomen was intentionally designed to be weak, possibly concealing other tricks.”
Luo Feng was startled.
Xiu! Xiu!
Luo Feng and Lian Luo quickly distanced themselves from the crimson centipede. Unfortunately, within the forbidden space, there was nowhere to escape.
Luo Feng carefully observed the convulsing centipede. Its abdominal hole began to crack, “Papapap!!!” sounds echoing. The entire centipede split in two from the abdomen, breaking apart. The metal at the break coalesced and twisted, forming a new centipede head.
In an instant,
one centipede became two.
“Ga!” “Ga!”
Both centipedes screeched and lunged.
“One becomes two, will they split into four?” Luo Feng flapped his wings, dashing away in a blur.
“Ga~~~”
One centipede soared through the air, its countless claws crawling through space, causing ripples. It relentlessly pursued Luo Feng, moving quite fast. However, Luo Feng’s dodging and maneuvering far surpassed even Lian Luo, so the centipede couldn’t touch him.
In another direction, the other centipede clashed with Lian Luo, who fired another arrow at it.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The heavy arrow flew forth!
Space shattered in layers! Claws were blasted away!
Finally striking the centipede’s abdomen… “Pu!” The metal abdomen was pierced. Lian Luo roared furiously, charging forward like lightning. A storm of claws descended, attempting to block him, but Lian Luo had already drawn another arrow, firing lightning-fast, blasting through the claws. He seized the chance to charge into the centipede’s abdominal hole.
As he reached the hole’s entrance, about to enter.
“Chi!”
A golden shadow darted from the centipede’s abdominal hole, lightning-fast, catching Lian Luo off guard.
“Dang~~~” The golden shadow struck Lian Luo’s divine body surface, the bell-shaped illusion, sending him flying. As Lian Luo flew backward, he fired another arrow, breaking through the claws’ obstruction, flying outward.
“Roar~~~”
A piercing roar echoed throughout the forbidden space, shaking the desert.
Both massive centipedes halted, landing on the ground.
Luo Feng and Lian Luo regrouped.
“What’s going on? Why is this so troublesome?” Luo Feng frowned, transmitting his thoughts. Lian Luo also stared at the two centipedes, particularly the one with the abdominal hole. Previously, a sudden golden shadow emerged from there, and now the hole was writhing, as if something was about to emerge.
“Master.”
Lian Luo relayed, “The true peril within the Star Tower primarily stems from hundreds of thousands of titled kings. As for the inherent dangers of the tower itself, while hazardous, they shouldn’t pose a challenge to me, a peak-tier titled king. I shouldn’t need to expend my immortal body… yet this time appears to be an exception.”
Chi chi chi~~
The centipede with the abdominal hole writhed, something golden seemingly trying to crawl out.
“From what I know, only one situation would cause such trouble.” Lian Luo said.
“Explain.” Luo Feng also sensed something was off.
Lian Luo was a peak-level king.
If even he had to burn his immortal body to defeat the forbidden guardian, then peak-level titled kings and high-ranked titled kings would be doomed. But in reality… the Star Tower couldn’t be this dangerous. If a battlefield were so deadly, how could so many titled kings enter?
“The Star Tower is generally calm, unless the ‘Star-Sealing Star’ is about to appear, causing various anomalies.” Lian Luo’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
“The Star-Sealing Star appearing?” Luo Feng was taken aback.
“After defeating this guardian, Master can inquire with friends within the Star Tower through the virtual universe network. Perhaps other powerful beings have encountered difficulties as well,” Lian Luo said. “If many strong individuals are facing trouble, the Star-Sealing Star is likely about to emerge, heralding a great massacre in the Star Tower.”
Luo Feng held his breath.
It’s easier to defeat a king than to seal or kill one!
The ‘Star-Sealing Star’ is a sealing treasure. As long as one is slightly stronger, using the Star-Sealing Star can forcibly seal the opponent inside, trapping them eternally! Even if the trapped opponent is a Cosmic Sovereign, breaking free would be impossible.
Of course, sealing a Cosmic Sovereign would be much harder.
Yet the ‘Star-Sealing Star’ remains a treasure coveted by countless powerful beings across countless races, a treasure worth a massacre. When the strong gather, or when others arrive from afar, the slaughter over the Star-Sealing Star would be unimaginable. Each Star-Sealing Star signifies a great slaughter!
“Master, entering the Star Tower and encountering such good fortune, it seems the Star-Sealing Star is destined for you.” Lian Luo said, in his servant’s heart, his master was the most important existence in the universe.
Papapap!!!
Among the two massive centipedes, the one with the abdominal hole now had its hole expanding. Slowly, a golden-armored monster crawled out—a golden scorpion about 20 meters long. Its scorpion tail was sharp and curved, making Lian Luo’s pupils contract instantly. It was this tail that had ambushed him earlier.
