In the ancient Star Tower located in the battlefield beyond the borders of the universe:
Inside the grand hall.
Luo Feng stood alone, first issuing orders to Zhongjian Wang through the virtual universe: “Zhongjian, sense my location and teleport here with your divine kingdom.”
Just a few seconds later.
A hazy glow illuminated the hall, ripples spreading through space, and a figure appeared out of thin air. It was Zhongjian Wang, tall and thin, wearing a mask. Upon seeing Luo Feng, he immediately bowed respectfully: “Greetings, Master.”
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.
At the same time, he sensed a mental message from the Star Tower… whether to kill the intruder? Clearly, this hall was already considered one of the core areas of the entire Star Tower, forbidden to outsiders. Once someone entered illegally, the Star Tower could use its own energy to eliminate the intruder. However, those restricted spaces were often left open for countless powerful beings across the universe to enter recklessly.
“Do not kill,” Luo Feng communicated with the Star Tower. The Star Tower was hailed as one of the strongest treasures in the universe, but ultimately, it was still a weapon. Its intelligence was quite low, perhaps matching that of artificial intelligence in terms of processing speed, but its emotional development was as immature as that of a two- or three-year-old child.
“Back then, regarding the matter of Tianzhen Wang, did he eventually get exposed?” Luo Feng asked.
“Reporting to Master, no,” replied Zhongjian Wang respectfully. “If not for your reminder, I wouldn’t have noticed. That Tianzhen Wang is extremely cunning. I only discovered through careful observation that Quwu Wang’s death indeed involved some coincidence. Moreover, once Quwu Wang died and I escaped, the Yao race faction’s team would definitely overpower ours. At that time, we only had Tianzhen Wang left… Logically, Tianzhen Wang should have died for sure, but he survived perfectly well.”
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.
It wasn’t unexpected that he wasn’t exposed. Based on Luo Feng’s previous interactions with Tianzhen Wang, the man was undoubtedly very scheming. Even when he plotted against Luo Feng, he waited until the last moment to strike secretly. If not for Luo Feng’s strong willpower breaking through the illusion, Tianzhen Wang might have succeeded.
“Star Tower,” Luo Feng began communicating with the Star Tower, “search for immortal humans.”
…
Inside the grand hall surrounded by numerous sealed stars, Luo Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, communicating with the Star Tower, while Zhongjian Wang respectfully stood behind him.
“There are a total of 359 immortal human deities within the Star Tower.”
Simultaneously, a stream of information entered Luo Feng’s mind, displaying a series of scenes—images of numerous human warriors fighting, training, and conversing with comrades within the Star Tower… These were all humans. Although the entire Star Tower housed hundreds of thousands of immortal deities, those who were truly human were a rarity.
Soon, he finished reviewing all the information.
“No Tianzhen Wang?” Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows. “Star Tower, check carefully. Is there a person within the Star Tower matching the image on my arm guard’s screen?” At the same time, the arm guard’s screen displayed an image—none other than Tianzhen Wang.
“There is no such person inside the tower. This human left 1,800 years ago,” the Star Tower’s mental message conveyed.
“He has already left?” Luo Feng opened his eyes and suddenly stood up.
“Master?” Zhongjian Wang stepped forward respectfully. “Are we going after Tianzhen Wang?”
“He is no longer in the Star Tower,” Luo Feng slightly shook his head. This Star Tower was his home ground, where he would have a significant advantage. However, his life inheritance had lasted too long—over 6,000 years. Many powerful experts generally spent only around ten thousand years in the battlefield beyond the borders. Thus, it was normal for Tianzhen Wang to have left.
“Having left the Star Tower, I wonder if he is still in the battlefield beyond the borders.”
“Or perhaps he has returned to human territory?”
Luo Feng shook his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. “Good, even if he has left the battlefield beyond the borders, it’s even better! I will still hunt him down!”
“Master, what should we do next?” Zhongjian Wang asked.
“Don’t rush,” Luo Feng smiled. “After all, Tianzhen Wang is a member of the Hong Alliance. Many of my friends are also his friends! Although I can’t directly contact Tianzhen Wang, through these friends, I can easily find his whereabouts. Then, I can strike. But before that… I still have one thing to do.”
Zhongjian Wang looked slightly puzzled.
Luo Feng turned his gaze toward the outside of the grand hall, where countless sealed stars faintly rolled in the vast void. “Practice fighting and, incidentally, capture soul servants!”
…
As the master of the Star Tower, although Luo Feng couldn’t currently control the entire tower, he could still take advantage of the home ground. Through the Star Tower, Luo Feng clearly knew where each of the hundreds of thousands of immortal deities from across the universe were located in the restricted spaces. In fact, Luo Feng could even arrange for the Star Tower to send him directly into those restricted spaces.
“As long as I wish, I can choose to fight any alien immortal warrior.”
“And during the battle, there would absolutely be no new ‘exit’ appearing within the restricted space. Even if it lasted a day, ten days, or a month, no exit would appear.”
“Under such conditions…”
“How could I possibly miss this opportunity?”
Luo Feng’s eyes sparkled with ambition. Wandering through the universe, having comrades and servants was extremely important. However, obtaining a powerful servant was a very difficult task. One had to encounter an opponent that one could defeat and prevent from escaping. Moreover, directly controlling the soul was something only a ‘soul master’ could achieve. Masters who specialized in soul techniques were already extremely rare.
Besides this, there was only one foolish method!
Killing the opponent into a coma and then controlling them!
But this foolish method also had many weaknesses. Killing the opponent into a coma? The opponent might sense the danger and self-destruct. Secondly, how coincidental would it be for the opponent to just fall into a coma? If one was slightly too aggressive, one might end up killing the opponent outright. Second, even if one succeeded, controlling a comatose immortal deity—how long would one have to wait for the comatose immortal to recover and become a powerful servant? If one used precious treasures to help them recover and awaken, the cost would be extremely high.
In short, controlling a powerful immortal servant, especially one whose strength was close to one’s own, was an extremely difficult task.
Generally, only soul masters had a higher probability of achieving this.
“In the universe, how could one possibly encounter so many powerful beings at will? And how could one freely choose which powerful beings to fight?”
“Favorable timing and advantageous positioning are both in my hands.”
“Now it’s just a matter of whether I have the ability to capture a servant,” Luo Feng sensed the Star Tower, communicated with it, and began searching for some of the superpowerful alien immortals within the Star Tower. Naturally, his targets were those ‘King Limit’ warriors. At his current strength, attempting to capture a servant at the level of ‘Mingyun Wang’ or ‘Seven-Sword King’ would be nothing more than a fantasy.
As for King Peak-level warriors?
Luo Feng looked down on them, unless they were soul masters of the King Peak level.
Thus, Luo Feng set his sights on ‘King Limit’ warriors and ‘King Peak-level soul masters.’
“It’s him!” Luo Feng smiled slightly. “From the Yao race faction, the Ciya race… Heiya Wang, a soul master at the King Peak level. He will be my first target.”
…
Inside the Star Tower, there were numerous restricted spaces, each vastly different.
In one of these restricted spaces, fierce winds howled, and snowflakes filled the sky. Within the endless snowfall, three vague figures were sitting cross-legged on the snow-covered ground.
“Our luck is terrible. The last high-ranked human king who tried to escape was almost killed by us, but unexpectedly, he managed to break free from Heiya Wang’s soul control at the last moment and escaped,” a rock monster with a grotesque, turtle-like head growled. Its blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity.
“Cursed,” another similar creature growled as well.
The two were members of the Qiuji Hou tribe, a rock-based lifeform that had temporarily allied with the Yao race faction. They hailed from the distant fringes of the universe. The Qiuji Hou were a type of lithoid lifeform. These two King Peak-level Qiuji Hou warriors possessed a racial advantage shared by their kind—exceptionally formidable defensive capabilities.
The Qiuji Hou race was already rare in the battlefield beyond the borders, and Kings were even rarer. Within the Star Tower, there were only three Qiuji Hou Kings, and these two were the famous ‘Qiuji Hou brothers.’
“Be patient.”
A hoarse voice sounded. This was a creature whose face was covered with black fur, revealing only one emerald green eye. It resembled a large bird. He was Heiya Wang, the leader of this small team. “Within the Star Tower, there are hundreds of thousands of alien immortals. We have plenty of opportunities. As long as we are patient, we will eventually succeed in our hunt.”
The two Qiuji Hou warriors growled in agreement.
“Ah?”
Suddenly, Heiya Wang turned his head toward the distance. The two crouching Qiuji Hou warriors also turned to look. Far away, a spatial passage suddenly appeared.
“I told you so. Be patient. Look, here comes our prey,” Heiya Wang rasped.
“Grrr~~”
“Grrr~~” The two Qiuji Hou warriors roared with excitement, their eyes gleaming ferociously as they stared into the distance. Though brimming with bloodlust, they dared not act rashly without spotting their target. After all, it could be a member of the Yao race faction—or worse, the newcomer might prove even more formidable than themselves.
In the distant blizzard, a figure suddenly appeared.
Heiya Wang and the Qiuji Hou brothers carefully observed. They saw a distant figure resembling a human, with silver wings, fully clad in silver armor, walking across the void.
“It’s a human,” the Qiuji Hou brothers growled.
“Daohe Wang!” Heiya Wang’s expression slightly changed. Daohe Wang’s reputation was quite formidable, causing him some caution. However, it was not enough to make Heiya Wang abandon his plans immediately.
“Haha… I never expected to meet Heiya Wang here,” the silver-armored, silver-winged youth approached across the void, his laughter causing the space to tremble.
“Daohe Wang!” Heiya Wang cackled mockingly. “Where is your servant Zhongjian Wang? Summon him out as well.”
Whoosh!
A figure appeared beside him—none other than Zhongjian Wang, tall, thin, and masked.
This caused Heiya Wang’s laughter to become even more shrill. “Hahaha, excellent! Human Daohe Wang… if I kill you, it will be a huge gain.” At the same time, Heiya Wang secretly transmitted orders: “Qiuji Hou brothers, that Zhongjian Wang is up to you two to keep occupied. I will deal with Daohe Wang.”
“Don’t worry, although we are no match for Zhongjian Wang, we can definitely hold him off for a while,” the Qiuji Hou brothers said confidently.
…
The killing intent from both sides was rising.
Zhongjian Wang stood respectfully beside Luo Feng, while Luo Feng smiled as he watched the scene unfold. He needed to choose a team of comparable strength. Otherwise, if they saw that he was Daohe Wang, wouldn’t they just flee in fear?
“Let’s see the true power of the Star Chart,” Luo Feng flipped his left hand, revealing the Star Chart merging within his palm. The Star Chart’s mark was faintly visible to the naked eye. At this moment, six black orbs floated out from his palm and hovered above it.
