Luo Feng stood in the void, gazing across the vast stellar river toward the distant Ice Prison Stars. Although these stars were extremely far from Luo Feng—akin to an ordinary Earthling easily seeing the distant sun—his vision was so sharp that he could discern pores even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, so naturally he could see those infinitely distant Ice Prison Stars.
“The black metal plate,” Luo Feng sensed a strong call emanating from the direction of those Ice Prison Stars.
“It’s…”
“That one!”
Instantly, Luo Feng’s gaze locked onto one of them. “The call is coming from there! The coordinates given by the powerful alien were correct. The black metal plate is indeed on that Ice Prison Star.”
“The powerful alien tasked me with a simple mission: enter that Ice Prison Star, retrieve the black metal plate, and then escape.”
“But each Ice Prison Star is the nest of a special lifeform. Each one represents a powerful unique being.” Luo Feng mused. Within the Ice Prison Star Belt dwelled a group of special beings that had emerged alongside the birth of the universe. Other alien races in the cosmos named them “Dokka.”
Dokka were beings formed from extremely frigid cold energy. Their appearances were eerily beautiful, seemingly innocent, yet they were extremely bloodthirsty. To them, killing was a game, and they felt no guilt whatsoever.
Though they could not reproduce, they possessed extraordinary innate abilities. It was said that thousands of Dokka lived in the Ice Prison Star Belt, making it their ancestral home. According to data from the Virtual Universe Company, among these thousands of Dokka, hundreds had become Immortals, and two Dokka had even become Cosmic Sovereigns!
The hundreds of Immortal Dokka each constructed their own “Ice Prison Star.”
“Dokka are special beings. Even at the same level, they are hundreds of times stronger than humans,” Luo Feng noted. The peak physical strength of a human King-ranked warrior was 100,000 times that of a World Lord. Unless their bloodline underwent mutation, Dokka’s peak physical strength at the King-ranked level reached 10 million times that of a World Lord. This was purely physical power, without considering any amplification techniques.
For instance, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast was ten times stronger than a human.
However, among the cosmos’s special beings, even the weakest might rival the Gold-Horned Giant Beast.
…
“Each Ice Prison Star is dangerous. I might be able to fight a single Immortal Dokka, but if I make any noise, I will be exposed,” Luo Feng murmured. No one who had been exposed in the Ice Prison Star Belt had ever escaped, because there were two Cosmic Sovereign Dokka there!
As special beings, they were even stronger than many of the Cosmic Sovereigns among humans.
…
Just as Luo Feng was observing the situation and contemplating his plan, suddenly from the distant, wide, and surging ‘stellar river’ emerged a blurred figure.
“Ha… ha ha…”
“Ha…”
A crisp voice filled with icy coldness pierced through the void, spreading in all directions. The laughter was filled with joy and delight.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked afar. From the distant stellar river, three blurred figures emerged in succession—one purple, two cyan. The purple figure was about 3.2 meters tall, with a slender figure, entirely purple, with hundreds of purple braids hanging from its head. Its body was covered with crystal-like purple armor, translucent and delicate, revealing the faint outline of its naked body beneath the semi-transparent armor. It resembled a human female. The other two cyan figures were 3.6 meters tall, equally handsome, with hundreds of cyan braids hanging from their heads. Their entire bodies were covered in cyan armor, resembling human males.
As special beings, Dokka had no gender distinction; their appearances merely reflected slight differences in their innate abilities.
Purple Dokka were rarer, while cyan Dokka were more numerous.
Purple Dokka’s coldness was better at freezing souls directly, while cyan Dokka’s coldness was more effective at freezing physical bodies.
With a leap,
The three Dokka laughed joyfully together, their speed rapidly increasing until they reached light speed, then instantly traversed the cosmos, disappearing from Luo Feng’s sight.
“Interstellar travel?” Luo Feng observed carefully. “The impurities in the space around the Ice Prison Stars have all been cleared, leaving it completely empty, allowing acceleration to light speed. Hmm, those three Dokka just now… their strength seems relatively weak, likely World Lord-level Dokka! Yet their power rivals ordinary Immortal beings, effortlessly performing cosmic travel with their physical bodies to return to their dwellings.”
“It seems I have no choice but to proceed this way,” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
…
Within the World Ring,
The black-robed Luo Feng stood there, while his twelve subordinates respectfully saluted: “Master.”
“King Zhen,” the black-robed Luo Feng looked over.
“Master,” King Zhen respectfully replied.
“Do you have any Marquis-level servants under your command? Summon one out, preferably one that’s nimble, small, and clever,” Luo Feng requested. Soul masters like King Zhen and Demon King Chi Mang each had many soul servants. While King-level servants were extremely rare, Marquis-level servants were much more numerous.
“Yes,” King Zhen waved his hand, and beside him appeared a small, hunched figure only 1.1 meters tall, covered in black scales, with bright green eyes. This was a ‘Demon Snail Monkey’ from the Yao race.
“Master,” the Demon Snail Monkey eagerly smiled.
“From now on, you will follow my master’s orders,” King Zhen pointed to Luo Feng. “You must obey my master’s commands exactly as if they were my own.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” the Demon Snail Monkey quickly agreed.
The black-robed Luo Feng gazed at this immortal-level Demon Snail Monkey with Hou-level strength and asked, “Do you possess a micro-detector or a macro-detector?”
“No,” the Demon Snail Monkey shook his head.
“Master…” King Zhen was about to say they had been confiscated when the black-robed Luo Feng flipped his hand and tossed out a detector: “This has both micro and large detector functions.”
“This is a Virtual Universe signal receiver for anonymous login,” Luo Feng also threw out an armband. “You should attune it first.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” the Demon Snail Monkey was very excited. “Virtual Universe…”
Even helmets had anonymous accounts, let alone Luo Feng’s current high status, making it easy to obtain a permanent anonymous account. However, these anonymous accounts were more heavily monitored by the Virtual Universe.
“Listen well,” Luo Feng seriously instructed.
The Demon Snail Monkey listened attentively.
“Once you go out, accelerate to light speed and perform cosmic travel. When you reach these coordinates in the dark universe, travel back to the original universe,” the black-robed Luo Feng projected a screen from his armband displaying a star chart. It showed the Ice Prison Stars with detailed coordinate markings.
“When you reappear, you should materialize in the void 16 million kilometers away from this Ice Prison Star.”
“Remember, you must always keep the micro-detector activated, hiding your presence to avoid detection.”
“Then you will quietly enter this nearest Ice Prison Star… search for a black metal plate. Here are some characteristics of the black metal plate.” Luo Feng carefully explained to his subordinate, also detailing what to do if discovered, fearing the servant might make a mistake. He even had the servant repeat the instructions himself.
“Good,” the black-robed Luo Feng nodded. “Get ready to depart. I will guide you out shortly.”
“Yes,” the Demon Snail Monkey showed no resistance.
Luo Feng’s orders equaled his master’s commands. Even if ordered to self-destruct now, the Demon Snail Monkey wouldn’t hesitate… Thus, once their souls were controlled, they were completely subservient at the very core of their being.
…
Outside the surging, wide stellar river, Luo Feng quietly stood hidden, constantly activating his micro-detector, with the Demon Snail Monkey standing beside him.
“Now, accelerate to light speed, then perform cosmic travel. Go,” Luo Feng commanded.
“Yes.”
The Demon Snail Monkey’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Swoosh!
Its speed rapidly increased, streaking across the stellar river, soon reaching light speed. The space slightly vibrated, and it vanished.
Luo Feng watched this scene from afar: “Those Dokka travel from one Ice Prison Star to another, flying to their dwellings through the stellar river, all by cosmic travel. Otherwise, the vast distance would take ten days or half a month at sub-light speeds. Frequent cosmic travel vibrations are common… so the Demon Snail Monkey’s cosmic travel probably won’t attract attention.”
“It’s all up to luck.”
“I hope the Demon Snail Monkey has good luck and brings back the black metal plate,” Luo Feng mused. “If not, at least it can gather some intelligence about the inside of that Ice Prison Star.” Entering an Ice Prison Star was extremely dangerous; Luo Feng wouldn’t recklessly go in himself.
…
16 million kilometers away from that Ice Prison Star, space rippled slightly, and the Demon Snail Monkey appeared. Naturally, it activated its micro-detector immediately.
“Hehe, following the master for so long, it’s been so boring, with nothing to do. Finally, something to do. Where is this place? Seems dangerous,” the Demon Snail Monkey warily looked around while connecting its consciousness through the sensor to the Virtual Universe, transmitting everything it saw back to Luo Feng.
“Ice Prison Star.”
The Demon Snail Monkey was ignorant yet bold, never having heard of the Ice Prison Stars and unaware of the danger. Still, it cautiously flew toward it. The 16 million kilometer distance was actually quite short. Though the Demon Snail Monkey flew slowly, it soon approached.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, two streaks of light shot out from within, revealing two World Lord-level Dokka, handsome and chatting joyfully. Although their gazes swept over the Demon Snail Monkey, it remained completely hidden thanks to its activated micro-detector—at least invisible to the naked eye. The two Dokka continued chatting as they accelerated to light speed, then vanished into cosmic travel, heading to other parts of the Ice Prison Star Belt.
“Good thing they didn’t see me. But the master’s master is really too cautious. Those two little guys must be World Lords. I could easily kill them, yet I’m forbidden from provoking any other life,” the Demon Snail Monkey cautiously began flying toward the Ice Prison Star and finally entered it.
