Seeing Luo Feng take out the strongest Flame God Source Crystal, Tianzhen King, filled with shock, anger, regret, and resentment, suddenly noticed a spatial exit abruptly appearing beneath Luo Feng. Due to inertia, Luo Feng rushed straight into the spatial exit and left this expanse of void.
“Escaped by a hair!” Tianzhen King felt a wave of fear.
“My luck is truly amazing. Previously, cooperating with Chimang King to barely control a King’s Limit combatant was already lucky. Now this ‘Yang’ suddenly took out the strongest Flame God Source Crystal at the last moment. Just when I was about to perish because of it… who would have thought those spatial exits, which sometimes collapsed and sometimes appeared, suddenly opened an exit right beneath him… allowing me to survive again!!”
“Pure luck.”
Tianzhen King secretly rejoiced, then thought to himself, “Could it be that my fortune has finally turned?”
Although his plot against Luo Feng failed and Luo Feng now knew his true face, Tianzhen King was neither worried nor regretful. After all, compared to preserving his own life, gaining another enemy like Daohe King was nothing significant.
“I have two King’s Limit subordinates, and Chimang King whose strength is close to mine. Moreover, in this chaotic battlefield of the void, with my combat strength, I can still gain even more benefits… massive wealth that will allow my power to surge again! With such strength, how could I fear a Daohe King?”
“Right!”
“Since the ambush failed, there are still three King’s Limit warriors remaining among the demon faction. I still have to deal with Tuwu King and Chongjian King.” Tianzhen King quickly made a decision, “First, let the demon faction unite to eliminate Tuwu King and Chongjian King. Then, I will secretly take out the other three King’s Limit warriors on the demon side who are beyond my control.”
Eliminating them all at once was Tianzhen King’s ideal outcome, but even eliminating two or three more King’s Limit warriors would bring astonishing gains.
If he could control another soul, then today would have been an extraordinary stroke of luck for him.
“Master!” Chongjian King dove downward.
Buzz!
The spatial exit Luo Feng escaped through collapsed.
“Master!” Chongjian King felt anxious, though not as desperately frantic as before—at least his master Luo Feng had not been in danger.
…
Wrapped in a vast and mighty mysterious force, Luo Feng was helplessly drawn directly into the spatial exit. His mind still echoed with the words: “Child, come forth!”
Entering the exit, he did not arrive at another forbidden space, but instead flew into a colorful passage.
“Whoosh~”
A dazzling passage.
Luo Feng was swept along, continuously flying forward. The surrounding space twisted, and faintly, beyond the radiant passage, one could glimpse massive sealing stars and towering pillars that reached the heavens. Through the distorted space, there appeared to be numerous mighty treasures exuding powerful auras, though Luo Feng’s eyes couldn’t clearly make them out.
“Chongjian, Chongjian,” Luo Feng, carried along, immediately reached out mentally to Chongjian King.
A soul slave and his master shared a soul connection.
As long as the distance wasn’t excessively far, they could sense each other through their souls and communicate telepathically. Clearly, even within the Star Tower, even at its farthest reaches, given the strength of Luo Feng and Chongjian King’s souls, they could still communicate through soul resonance.
“Master, are you alright?” Chongjian King mentally replied.
“I’m fine. Remember this—the Tianzhen King harbored ill intentions and ambushed me just now, nearly costing me my life… I suspect the Chimang King from the demon faction and the Tianzhen King secretly colluded beforehand. In short, you must relay this message to the Tuwu King. Both of you must flee quickly, regroup with the other humans, endure for now, leave this expanse of void and the Star Tower, and await my return.”
“Yes, Master.”
Luo Feng secretly exhaled in relief.
It wasn’t that Luo Feng didn’t want revenge. He had treated Tianzhen King with sincerity, going to save him, only to be used and nearly killed by Tianzhen King, who took advantage of the opportunity to strike him down! No matter who it was… Luo Feng was filled with killing intent and naturally wanted him dead. However, regardless, Tianzhen King was still a human.
Under the ‘deterrence’ of the military detection system, Luo Feng dared not directly kill a strong warrior from his own faction!
Killing comrades or allies from one’s own faction was a capital offense, leading to being hunted relentlessly by numerous races within the human faction. Even Master Hunyuan Citylord wouldn’t be able to save him. After all, these were ironclad rules established by the military system jointly agreed upon by humans and countless other races—how could they be easily violated?
“The military system must not be violated.”
“But it’s not without loopholes,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “For instance, the military system’s monitoring relies on detecting and observing battles to determine everything. And the so-called ‘detection’ is done by instruments, which naturally have limitations. For example, earlier when I engaged Tianzhen King and he secretly added an extra force against me… the instruments couldn’t accurately detect the true impact.”
“Even so, Tianzhen King…”
“I treated you like a brother, yet you betrayed me. How can I calm my heart if I don’t kill you?” Killing intent flickered in Luo Feng’s heart. “The military system only governs soldiers. I can simply choose to ‘retire’ and no longer be a soldier of the human faction. Although this would allow every human faction soldier to kill me without penalty, I would also be free to kill you…”
Tianzhen King had already been marked for death in Luo Feng’s heart.
…
Luo Feng’s mind swirled with many thoughts while being carried along this twisted passage by that mighty force.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the mysterious force dissipated.
Luo Feng flew out of the passage, tumbling downward. He quickly flipped midair, landing lightly on the ground like a feather.
“What is this…” Luo Feng looked around.
This was a vast and mysterious grand hall. Inside the hall stood nine towering pillars, each over ten thousand kilometers high, supporting the entire structure. Above the hall, at its front, back, left, and right, countless sealing stars floated—an endless expanse of them, filling the sky like a sea of stars, enveloping the entire hall.
This hall appeared to be suspended amidst countless stars of sealing.
“There…” Luo Feng’s gaze fell upon something.
Far within the hall sat a figure cross-legged. He had a long, coiled snake-like lower body, while his upper body was human. His long purple beard hung down, and his eyelids drooped slightly, yet an endless pressure radiated from his body—an awe-inspiring pressure that compelled involuntary submission.
This pressure was like an infinite universe—not violent, yet leaving one with absolutely no will to resist.
“Child,” a hoary voice came from him. “Come forth.”
“It was him. Earlier, it was him who pulled me here,” Luo Feng realized. “And what terrifying pressure… he’s far stronger than the likes of Erosion Fire Venerable that I’ve met. He even feels similar to my teacher, Hunyuan Citylord. Could he be a mighty existence at the Cosmic Sovereign level?”
At least Luo Feng understood one thing clearly.
Before this great being, he was like an ant—completely helpless.
Given that, he might as well comply obediently.
…
In this grand hall, amidst the countless stars that sealed the space, there existed only two beings: one was the mighty entity with a serpentine lower body and a human upper torso, and the other was Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was walking toward this mighty being.
“This mighty being, judging from his appearance, should be human,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “But the four peak races have never controlled the Star Tower. How could this human being bring me here inside the Star Tower?” The figure before him, with a snake-like lower body and a human upper body, was one of the many races of the ‘serpent-kin’ among the beast races.
Beings like the Ape-kin, Wolf-kin, and Serpent-kin were all broad categories, each encompassing many sub-races, yet all considered part of the human race.
“Senior,” Luo Feng respectfully bowed.
“Sit!”
This being, exuding immense and ancient energy, pointed to the ground beside him.
“Yes,” Luo Feng immediately sat cross-legged beside him.
“Are there many doubts in your heart?” The ancient and mighty existence gazed down at Luo Feng, his purple beard swaying slightly as he smiled. “Doubts about why the Star Tower continuously calls to you, yet you were unable to establish a master-servant bond. Doubts about why, upon your arrival, such powerful guardians appeared, coinciding with the emergence of the Sealing Stars?”
Luo Feng was secretly astonished.
This mighty ancient being even knew that the Star Tower endlessly called to him?
“Yes, I have many questions. Please enlighten me, Senior,” Luo Feng respectfully requested.
“I have waited for you… far too long,” the ancient mighty being sighed. “Of course, normally I only left a clone here. Knowing you had arrived, I personally came. Oh… I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am ‘Puti’, the guardian of the Star Tower and your guide.”
Luo Feng was stunned: “Senior, you aren’t the creator or owner of the Star Tower? I…”
“You wonder who left behind the secret manual you obtained. You wonder who the true creator and owner of the Star Tower is?” Puti looked down at Luo Feng with a smile. “Ha ha, I was originally the first servant taken in by the creator of the Star Tower in ancient times. However, through countless eons, I became a Cosmic Sovereign… and my Master, out of kindness, accepted me as his disciple.”
“I am the eldest disciple under my Master’s tutelage.”
“The leader of the Flame God Clan is my Master’s second disciple.”
“My Master had many servants, but only two disciples. I was fortunate—following my Master the longest and with my strength, he, out of old affection, allowed me to become his eldest disciple… while the Flame God Clan and Earth lineage were the two core branches my Master painstakingly cultivated.” Puti looked at Luo Feng. “In Earth’s history, there were once two candidates, both of whom failed. You are the third candidate after an interval of 8.2 billion years. If you succeed, you will, like the leader of the Flame God Clan, become the leader of the Earth lineage and my Master’s third disciple! If you fail, you will share the fate of the first two candidates… perishing!”
Luo Feng was stunned.
There were two candidates in Earth’s history? He was the third candidate after 8.2 billion years?
The leader of the Flame God Clan? The leader of the Earth lineage?
“The leader of the Flame God Clan and this ‘Puti’ before me… who exactly is their Master?”
“The one who created the unnamed secret manual, created the Star Tower, and specifically guided and nurtured the Flame God Clan and Earth lineage… could this be the ‘alien expert’ mentioned by the Ax Creator?” Many thoughts surged through Luo Feng’s mind.
