The phrase “worthy of being listed among the universe’s supreme powerhouses” stirred Luo Feng’s heart. These words came from a peerless existence in the cosmos—one capable of rivaling the Founder of the Axe Clan. In the eyes of such an extraordinary being, to be called a “supreme powerhouse of the universe” likely signified at least the level of a Universe Sovereign.
The extraordinary being had two disciples.
The eldest disciple, Puti, was a Sovereign of the Universe.
The second disciple, the leader of the Flame God Clan, was also a Sovereign of the Universe.
Luo Feng was on the verge of becoming the third disciple, and he estimated that he also had the potential to become a Sovereign of the Universe! This thought set Luo Feng’s heart ablaze with excitement. Sovereign of the Universe… To reach the pinnacle of Venerable like “Palace Master Tianchi” and “Hierodo” would already make one a cosmic overlord. If one could advance even further into the realm of Sovereign of the Universe…
Then time and space would all be under one’s control. Reversing time and space to resurrect the strong could grant a race an endless source of vitality.
“You, the lineage of Earth humans, and the lineage of the Flame God Clan, are all my children,” the towering old man looked down upon Luo Feng, his voice thunderous. “You have passed many secret trials, and you were able to endure the inheritance trial of the Star Tower. Thus, you are my disciple, and likely my last disciple.”
Luo Feng was secretly stunned.
The last disciple? No one could say what the long future would bring, but this extraordinary being seemed to have already decided on only three disciples.
“Don’t be surprised,” the old man’s gaze was like sunlight, shining into Luo Feng’s soul. “For you and your second senior brother, I had plans and ideas as early as the primordial era of the universe. I have poured immeasurable effort and resources, most of which have been invested in the two of you.”
“Most of your resources and treasures?” Luo Feng was astonished.
“For example, even if your entire human race devoted all its strength to crafting the Star Tower, even with my techniques for forging treasures, how many could you make?” The towering old man turned his head toward Puti. “In contrast, I have helped Puti the least.”
Puti immediately bowed deeply. “Master, without your help, I would likely have remained an immortal god for my entire life.”
“Even without me, you could have become a Venerable,” the towering old man shook his head. “Back then, I took in many disciples, each of exceptional talent, and I guided each of them. With similar aptitude and equal instruction from me, they all attained the rank of Venerable, yet you alone ascended to become a Sovereign of the Universe.”
(Note: I made slight adjustments for natural flow in English while preserving the original meaning. “Servants” was changed to “disciples” as it better fits the cultivation context, and “helped” was refined to “guided” for precision. The capitalization of titles follows fantasy convention.)
“However, every treasure in the universe has very strict requirements for choosing a master. For your second and third junior brothers, I began preparing even before they were born.”
“I already have a treasure,” Puti quickly said.
“That still doesn’t count. Among the Sovereigns of the Universe in the six peak clans and many other forces, your treasures are merely at an average level,” the towering old man shook his head. “I am preparing a supreme treasure for you. I have spent countless eons gathering materials, and I already have a rough prototype. Probably in another ten million eons, there will be hope.”
Puti knelt down, filled with excitement, expressing his respect and gratitude. “What my master has done, I could never repay with all my efforts.”
“Haha, my disciples must naturally be extraordinary,” the towering old man laughed heartily. “I just hope that among the three of you, one can catch up to me. That would be a great tale in the universe—a master and his disciples all becoming the strongest beings in the universe. Haha…”
Luo Feng listened in secret admiration.
This extraordinary being had very few disciples. Moreover, the second and third disciples were each chosen after he actively guided and nurtured new races, creating secret techniques and carefully selecting the most outstanding individuals as his disciples. It was clear how strict this extraordinary being was in choosing his disciples.
If it weren’t for the two races he had actively guided and nurtured, the towering old man would have only selected the sole Sovereign of the Universe from among his deeply bonded servants as the eldest disciple.
Besides this!
Throughout the vast cosmos, across the boundless expanse of time, amidst the ceaseless emergence of geniuses and mighty figures, this extraordinary being never accepted another disciple. Unlike the “Chaos Lord,” who bore the duty of fortifying the human race and would take on disciples whenever exceptional talents or remarkable individuals arose—resulting in numerous direct and named disciples—even the Founder of the Axe Clan was no exception.
This is what happens when one is bound by a race.
But this extraordinary being, a unique life in the universe, unbound by any race, didn’t care how talented you were—he simply couldn’t be bothered to teach. Only the races he nurtured and guided, like his own children, would he carefully arrange for.
“Disciple Luo Feng, you haven’t even called me ‘Master’ yet,” the towering old man looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng immediately knelt respectfully, suppressing his excitement as he called out, “Master!”
This extraordinary being was the guide of the Earth human lineage, the ‘creator’ of the Earth human race. Without this extraordinary being, there would be no Earth human lineage.
“Good.”
“As your master, I will naturally fulfill my duties,” the towering old man’s voice thundered as he looked down at Luo Feng. “I have three habits when teaching disciples. First, I like to prepare the most top-tier resources and conditions in the universe for my disciples. Second, I will not teach any secret techniques. Third, whether you live or die is none of my concern, and I certainly won’t reverse time and space to resurrect you after your death.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Not teaching secret techniques? Not caring about life or death?
“True supreme power cannot be taught,” the towering old man murmured in a low voice. “Everything depends on yourself. Every Sovereign of the Universe has forged their own secret techniques to attain that realm.”
“Being constantly protected by a teacher will never make you a strong individual.”
“When I teach disciples, I don’t teach secret techniques, I don’t care about life or death, I only provide resources and treasures,” the towering old man said. “If you perish on your path to becoming a supreme being, I will choose another candidate from the Earth human lineage, let them undergo the trial of life and death inheritance, and find another third disciple. The two races I have guided and nurtured are destined to have leaders, and the leadership is not necessarily limited to one generation. You are merely the first leader of the Earth human lineage, and I hope you will also be its eternal leader.”
His voice thundered, piercing the soul.
Moreover, the voice of this extraordinary being seemed to possess infinite magic, making one believe and obey without question.
“I understand,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.
“You understand the principle. Even the most powerful teacher, even with the most abundant resources and treasures, cannot grant immortality if the disciple fails to cultivate diligently,” the towering elder said in a low voice. “External resources are indeed important, but personal effort is even more crucial. However, the stronger one grows, the less effective external assistance becomes. With boundless treasures, even those with mediocre talent can achieve immortality through dedicated cultivation. But to reach the level of a Venerable, one must meet stringent demands on personal cultivation. Becoming a Sovereign of the Universe is far more arduous and fraught with obstacles. And should you attain that status and aspire to advance further to my level, no treasure will suffice. Both your eldest and second senior brothers have been trapped at this stage for countless eons. Among your human race, aside from the Founder of the Axe Clan, no one else has ever crossed that final threshold.”
“I understand, Master. I will definitely strive hard,” Luo Feng said excitedly.
The strong often fear the lack of sufficient resources.
Why do peak clans and super forces fight and kill each other? It’s all for resources!
Cultivating geniuses in a clan requires resources!
The growth of the strong also requires resources!
With resources, you have the foundation. Everything else depends on personal effort. What this extraordinary being had prepared for Luo Feng was the qualification to “be worthy of being listed among the universe’s supreme powerhouses.” This qualification was the heart-trembling resources.
“I have prepared two supreme treasures for both your second senior brother and you.”
“In total, there are four supreme treasures.”
“Three of the treasures are of similar standards, but only the Star Tower!”
“Among your two treasures, the Star Tower is very special, even stronger than your second senior brother’s treasure,” the towering old man sighed. “Back then, I spent countless precious materials and treasures to forge the supreme treasure ‘Star Tower.’ There were some unexpected circumstances during the forging process, which caused the Star Tower’s power to increase dramatically! It can now be considered one of the strongest treasures in the universe!”
“Although its power has increased, the basic requirement for choosing a master has become a thousand or even ten thousand times more difficult.”
“To allow the Star Tower to choose a master, I specially guided and nurtured the Earth human lineage, whose souls, wills, and consciousness were more firm. Even so, the first and second candidates still failed. In contrast, the Flame God Clan lineage could easily have the treasure recognize them as its master, unlike you, who went through such hardship.”
Luo Feng felt a sigh in his heart.
Yes, it was hard. Recalling the pain and torment of six thousand years, each second felt like a year. Those six thousand years were harder to endure than normal eons, as if he were in an endless hell, never seeing the end, always enduring difficulties, always persisting, persisting… until finally, only the obsession with his loved ones kept him going…
Until he grew weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, he succeeded at the last moment!
“The Star Tower’s power is extremely strong. Because of the special changes, even I don’t know the limit of its power. If the basic requirement for choosing a master is this difficult, then driving it must be even harder,” the towering old man said. Luo Feng also understood that the most basic form of the Murderous Wu Wings required him to fully comprehend the first layer of the “Beast God Transformation.”
The Murderous Wu Wings had little use for Sovereigns of the Universe.
But the Star Tower was a treasure suitable for the strongest beings in the universe! One of the strongest treasures in the universe! Without a master controlling it, it left those Sovereigns of the Universe helpless, and even the strongest beings of the four peak clans couldn’t force their way through. Naturally, its usage conditions were much stricter than the Murderous Wu Wings.
“Your human teacher, Chaos Lord, is among the top ranks of the ‘Sovereigns of the Universe’ in the vast universe. Even your second senior brother could barely rival Chaos Lord, possibly even slightly inferior.”
“But if you can become a Sovereign of the Universe in the future, with these two supreme treasures, especially the Star Tower, you will be able to rival Chaos Lord, even surpass him.”
“This is the power of the strongest treasures.”
The towering old man said, “The Star Tower is one treasure, and the other treasure I have prepared for you is called ‘Calamity Armor.'”
“Calamity Armor?” Luo Feng was startled.
The Calamity Armor has always been preserved within the Flame God Clan and is currently entrusted to your second senior brother for safekeeping. This Calamity Armor… under the allocation of special resources, can generate a vast quantity of armor beads with varying power levels, namely Soldier Armor Beads, General Armor Beads, King Armor Beads, and Emperor Armor Beads… These armor beads are highly suitable for the Flame God Clan, though they are exclusively utilized by those below the level of Venerable, merely enhancing the overall combat strength of the entire clan. The Calamity Armor itself is the supreme treasure, a divine artifact fit for Sovereigns of the Universe, possessing boundless power. It is your second supreme treasure.
Luo Feng listened with his heart surging.
Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, Emperor Armor… were all generated by the Calamity Armor?
“One Calamity Armor, and one Star Tower, even more terrifying than the Calamity Armor.
The extraordinary being, for the leader of the Earth human lineage, had prepared two supreme treasures for future dominance across the universe.
Both of these were more formidable than the Murderous Wu Wings, treasures that could make Sovereigns of the Universe envious and even mad. Luo Feng couldn’t help but worry, with his current strength, would he even be able to use such terrifying treasures?
